A Hacker News user is rallying the community to build a community-maintained directory of personal websites. The project, hosted on GitHub, aims to catalog sites beyond just blogs, including digital gardens and wikis. With only a handful of entries so far, the creator is asking members to share their links in the comments for inclusion.

This initiative follows the massive success of a similar 2023 'Ask HN' post for personal blogs, which garnered over 1,000 points and 1,900 comments. The new directory broadens that scope, welcoming any independently controlled web project. It reflects a growing movement away from algorithmic social media toward a more personal, decentralized web.

Contributors can submit their URLs directly in the thread or via GitHub pull requests to expedite the process. The project lead is also seeking maintainers to help manage the growing resource, ensuring it remains a living archive. This effort could become a valuable discovery tool for the HN community's creative output.
