• Ask HN: What are the viable alternatives to DuckDuckGo?

  Here are some "web search engines" that still work for me without CAPTCHA, Javascript or cookies Most do not require SNI or a User-Agent (UA) header https://api.mwmbl.org/?q=example https://www.bing.com/search?q=example&cc=US&first=1 Need SNI https://www.webcrawler.com/serp?q=what&page=1 Need UA and Accept-Language headers https://monocles.eu/search {POST q=example&pageno=1}... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• A website that lists websites to submit your website to

  I have been maintaining my own list of directories where one can submit their indie/personal websites to. In alphabetical order, here is what it looks like right now: https://blogroll.org/ https://blogs.hn/ (by @surprisetalk) https://hnpwd.github.io/ (I am one of the maintainers) https://iii.social/ (by @freshman_dev) https://indieblog.page/ (by @splitbrain) https://kagi.com/smallweb/ (by @freediver)... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Google Declaring War on the Web

  Is it just an exchange for traffic? I run a website that I'm perfectly happy for a single user to not land on themselves with a browser on their device, if they are provided the information that I'm providing or purchase a service through the AI product it doesn't make a difference to me. Some websites can run only on ads. Is it such a bad thing that they would die off? I say this as someone that likes the old web... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

  Another good search engine for personal blogs: https://wiby.me. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Show HN: Gulugulu, an old-style client-side search engine for the old weird web

  From a pure ideological perspective, how is this different from a search engine such as https://wiby.me/? - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Is over: The fun has been optimized out of the Internet

  I also like to press "surprise me..." on https://wiby.me/ There is a lot of fun stuff still there, but a corporate search engine might not point you to it. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• The Indie Internet Index – submit your favorite sites

  Glad to see another IndieWeb project. The more the merrier. It's almost like we now need a metadirectory to keep a list of all these various IndiWeb directories. Here are some other such directories and indices to consider: https://blogroll.org/ https://blogs.hn/ (by @surprisetalk) https://hnpwd.github.io/ (I am one of the maintainers) https://kagi.com/smallweb/ https://minifeed.net/ (by @freetonik)... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Kagi Small Web

  Https://wiby.me/ is interesting. I am not sure if it updates, or if it just has old websites. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• DialUp95 – A 90s inspired nostalgia hit

  Https://theoldnet.com and https://protoweb.org, try their proxy on legacy machines and have fun travelling in time. Also: https://wiby.me. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Strange.website

  You are clearly not browsing enough of these “weird web” sites if that’s your take. Or the only ones you’re clicking on are the ones that are posted here on HN. Try search something on https://wiby.me for example and then tell me if all you get are people writing about the web. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• HTML Is Dead, Long Live HTML

  > I'll leave this here: https://wiby.me I’m still not entirely sure what this is, but I visited, hit “Surprise Me”, and then spent a couple hours listening to/enjoying the retro-looking pirate radio site I got sent to, so, thanks. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• HTML Is Dead, Long Live HTML

  Many websites have no business being a full-blown application. The web is getting smaller and smaller, being dominated by the bigger players (Google, Microsoft, Apple, et. al) for whom pushing opaque web standards and applications benefit only them as gatekeepers. While it's still entirely possible for people to still build websites, search engines like Google don't prioritize them - leading them to never being... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• The Future Is Not Self-Hosted

  > from a quick search online I would have agreed with you a few years ago. But now Google, DuckDuckGo etc. At most provide 3 pages of results, with many irrelevant or wrong. There are alternatives: - https://wiby.me/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

  I believe these two search engines focus on just this: https://marginalia-search.com/ https://wiby.me/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• AI is killing the web. Can anything save it?

Or even some servers of Mastodon like https://fosstodon.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
