What problem does it solve?

The personal web is alive but hard to find. Search engines favour platforms. Social feeds bury links. Blog directories from the early web are long dead. Blogroll brings back the idea of a curated list of blogs worth reading, maintained by a human instead of an algorithm.

How it works

Each blog is reviewed and added by hand. The directory organizes entries for browsing and links directly to each writer’s own domain. No affiliate links, no rankings, no advertising. A simple submission form lets writers request inclusion.

Whom it’s for

Readers looking for something to read that isn’t a thread, a newsletter paywall, or a content farm. Writers who publish independently and want to be found by other people who still believe in the open web.

Tech

Static site with a structured data layer.
