Ironically I had to use a search engine to discover what "Mwmbl" was. It's apparently a search engine. But, visiting the front page, I see something akin to a git commit log?! I'm not sure I'd have guessed that this was a SE if Brave Search did not tell me it was (even then I'm not convinced yet). https://mwmbl.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

How does the homepage of https://mwmbl.org/ not have a single sentence explaining what it is or even an "About" link? From Github:. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

I wondered if this approach would be feasible for a distributed crawler: https://github.com/mwmbl/mwmbl#crawling (and, yes, another vote for changing the domain name; you can have a quirky project name, but if I can't remember the cat-walking-on-keyboard domain, I'm not going to use it). - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
