Holy hell this is incredible. I've wanted exactly this to exist for years and now it does. Does Wiby still crawl the web? How can we give a project like this wings? It restores the true Internet.

  It seems that you have to submit pages to wiby, and it’s URL and all subpages will then be indexed if they follow their rukes. You can talk about it to others and you can donate, that’s probably all this project needs.

    What are the rules?

      Rules are written on their submit page [1]. They prefer non-commercial, content-focused websites with lightweight HTML. The submit page also suggests they don't do link crawling, but only allow submission of individual URLs. [1] https://wiby.org/submit/ https://wiby.org/submit/

I love the idea, but it seems quite hacker-oriented (for a lack of a better term). Most searches will return something UNIX or hardware related (e.g. "table tennis").

Just did a quick search for 'epson hx-20' and this site popped up. https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/ https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/ not really relatated at all to my search, but I'm very glad to find it. A beutiful looking site indeed. This is the kind of stuff I remember doing back in the 90s, you'd search for something then something more random would show up but often be interesting to check out.

Loved this.. Landed on someone's site that promoted "Game design for websites"... "OK, you've created your web site, registered it, then found that there are 341 other web sites in your search engine category. How do you distinguish your web site from all of the rest? How do you encourage visitors to remember and revisit your web site? Add a games area!"
