Mhh, I would love aboutideasnow.com to be interoperable with your project. Seems like you have more things planned! The redirect option seems good, or supporting subpaths. If there's something I can do to help please write me an email [0] or open a GitHub issue! [1] We just want more people to write about their ideas, and find others with similar ideas. It doesn't matter to me where that happens :) [0] See https://lindylearn.io [1] https://github.com/lindylearn/aboutideasnow/issues
In Show HN: AboutIdeasNow – search /about, /ideas, /now pages of 7k+ personal sites
Yep but there is a fallback to metascraper [0] which does check the HTML tags. However the fallback didn't work in case GPT returns a 1970 date -- I just fixed this! [1] I think you can now remove the date from your post content and it should still work. If you submit your website again it should do a re-scrape if you changed the content text. Thanks for catching this :) [0] https://metascraper.js.org/#/ [1] https://github.com/lindylearn/aboutideasnow/commit/8b0ea5b46...

Show HN: AboutIdeasNow – search /about, /ideas, /now pages of 7k+ personal sites

Hi HN! It’s hard to find interesting people to work with on your ideas. Our solution: index the /about, /ideas, /now pages of 1000s of personal websites. There are thousands of cool personal sites out there, with amazing ideas on them, but there’s nowhere to easily search through. So we built a simple site that indexes 7k+ personal sites [0]. We were inspired by Derek Sivers’ Now page movement [1] and other IndieWeb directories [2], but we figured that it would be more useful if we: * Let you search directly across personal sites without having to visit them * Take the content from 3 specific pages, /about, /now and /ideas, to structure everything * Define /ideas pages as a space to articulate things you want to work on We hope this’ll be a cool place for people to find others to collaborate with - would love your feedback. If you’d like

your site to appear at the top, add it via the form and add a last updated date of today (any format). It’s completely open source (MIT) and open to contributions [3]!
