Built a decentralized website search/directory – would love some assistance + feedback (early days)

Hi there!!

I truly believe censorship resistant websites are a big part of our future, and with so much great infrastructure out there – I found it surprisingly hard to find good examples in a consolidated place or just to search for them in general.

I put together Forever Search this weekend, with the idea of this being to ENS what Yahoo was in the early days.

I have seeded it with some of the core sites such as:

• vitalik.eth
• wikipedia-on-ipfs.eth
• tornadocash.eth

Among others, which can be categorized and searched by keyword, description etc

A big goal here is to bridge the web2 and web3 understanding of this – and act as a gateway, hence I am keeping things clean and simple. As an example, these domains all resolve to .eth for Brave but to .limo for others

*\*

ASK: Please submit any awesome .eth websites you know about!
You can find the submission link in the footer and it will check if it is .eth and then see if .limo resolves and then add them

*\*

Search currently supports descriptions, keywords and domains

Future plans include:
– Full indexing (already started) – Google style and continuous evaluation of resolving (i.e if ens domain is still active)
– Publishing tools for IPFS including a privacy focused IPFS node

You can access this at:

• foreversearch.io (web2)
• foreversearch.eth (web3)
• foreversearch.eth.limo (web2.5)

For now foreversearch.eth is going to point to foreversearch.io but we will change this to an IPFS based system with addional features and some cool stuff if we get some traction on this.

Appreciate your input!!
