This piece really got me thinking about how resources were curated and shared in the early days of the web. We used directories at the time because we didn’t have any alternatives. Today, the alternatives are increasingly meh, with ads and AI that nobody asked for. So maybe the original approach can (paradoxically) become its own alternative to those alternatives, and we can restore some humanity in how we find and share information on the web.
