  • Captures the current cultural momentum behind the "small web" movement.
Weaknesses
  • Directories require constant maintenance to avoid link rot and stale content.

Post Description

I have been building a directory of personal websites over the past few months.

If you have a home page on your own domain, you should submit your site and I will link to you!

I've seen a lot of love for the small web, the Indie Web, etc here on HN this past week. I think everyone should have their own personal website - if nothing else so that you can feed the bots your own content, on your terms, and tell your story however you want.

I miss the days of human-curated directories and this is my attempt to create one.

Next on my to-do list includes: adding thousands more sites, like from Derek Sivers's public repo of NowNowNow pages. Re-crawling sites to verify last post date, get new screenshots, and try to geo-locate if there is an "About" section that shares that info. Better tags for discovery.

Any and all suggestions appreciated!

I Built the Million Dollar Homepage for Agents

This is a clever nostalgia play with a modern twist: pixels are real dollars and there's an API/skill endpoint you can hand straight to an AI agent (curl + Bearer token is shown) so bots can autonomously claim, share, or refresh pixels. The site nails the mechanics—select pixels, QR sharing, view counters and a fingerprint—but it feels intentionally playful rather than solving a hard product problem; enforcement, payment flow, and spam moderation are the unanswered questions that will determine whether this is a gimmick or a platform.

AI Agent Tools Directory – 316 tools for building AI agents

Big, filterable index with clear category pills, a prominent search box and daily-updated counts — handy for quickly scanning the agent ecosystem. Feels like a thoughtful curation (MCP servers, memory, platforms called out) but it stops short of being decisive: there are few trust signals, no standardized metadata (pricing, license, maturity) and no side-by-side comparisons, so it’s a great starting point rather than the final answer when choosing tooling.
