It feels like a single HN post a few days ago reinvented web rings and DMOZ for a whole new generation.



There's also https://ooh.directory/ which is basically just new DMOZ.


What is DMOZ ?

Pertinent that DMOZ launches just a few months before Google. It was basically an open version of Yahoo directories, right at the time when Google swooped in and ate Yahoo’s lunch.

Ontologies are hard. Search won.


Thanks for making me feel old.
