This seems like a really cool project. The results returned by the conventional search engines are so bad now because of the usual enshittification and also because the internet has become so clogged with AI-generated SEOed garbage. These human-curated directories may have some advantages again. Thanks for sharing.

If I remember correctly, Yahoo started exactly like this - curated communities and subsets made of links with perhaps a couple of sentences about each site. I think I might have had a handful of communities back then.

I think it’s an interesting for a bespoke community where people are experts on a set of areas and create essentially catalogs. It can’t compete at scale, of course.
