Wiby is a search engine for older style pages, lightweight and based on a subject of interest. Building a web more reminiscent of the early internet.

    I love Wiby! Runarroo also features a random hit from Wiby every now and then, which I think is the perfect use-case; Wiby is better for surfing than searching.

      Oh you’re the real seirdy. I didn’t realize you were on here, that’s awesome.

      also yeah this is a really cool project. I found it from your search engine blogpost and thought other people here would be interested in it. It’s great for when you have a few minutes to check out a cool site.

      I’m not really sure if Lemmy is a good fit for Wiby, since it does use a lot of “CSS for cosmetic effect” (which is advised against on the submission page) and it only looks good in modern browsers. It’s a complex piece of software, not a simple webpage reminiscent of the “classic web”. Wiby is better for discovering really simple “Web 1.0” sites I can open in Dillo or edbrowse. Click “surprise me…” a few times and you’ll get the overall vibe.

      Then again, I didn’t make Wiby so I don’t know this for sure.
