What commenters say

  • Sharing personal websites can help create a sense of community and encourage others to write and share their own content.
  • Using pull requests on GitHub is a more efficient way to submit websites to the directory than posting links in the comments.
  • The directory should include a wide range of personal websites, not just blogs, to showcase the diversity of online presence.
  • Some users are concerned about the similarity between this project and existing initiatives, such as the smallweb directory.
  • The directory's maintainer should prioritize adding websites that have been well-received in past discussions on the platform.
  • Users appreciate the initiative and are eager to share their own websites and provide feedback on others.
  • The directory's scope should be broadened to include websites that are not typically considered 'personal', such as art or UX-focused sites.
  • The lack of a feed or RSS option on some personal websites can make it difficult for others to keep up with new content.
