Look at the front page of HN - see my project randomly. Thank you for sharing! The goal with this site is precisely that, share people's digital gardens.

If you have a site to add, please open a GitHub issue: https://github.com/blogscroll/blogscroll/issues/new?assignee...

If your site is self-hosted (that is, not on medium.com or Substack or the likes, or if it is - has a custom domain), I'd be happy to add it. My goal for this year is to massively grow the list.

Does it have to be self-hosted? My sites, for example, are generally hosted on one of the various VPS services, some big and well known like Linode, others smaller like 1984.hosting. I move around too much to be worried about setting up servers in my homes, etc, but fully support the smolweb movement and love making my own tiny html places.

Not the OP but I think hosting on a VPS is valid. "Self-admin" may be a better term, I don't know. You are still "indie" and not bound to any corporate culture.

You are in full control down to the OS but not the hardware so yeah it counts.

I once questioned if hosting on VPS was covered under the term self-hosting and got down voted. It was a legit question, as is your question, but I guess people took it as if I was saying that it isn't self-hosting.

Love to see people thinking about this!

Happy to have a chat if you think it makes sense. I dropped the project above a year ago.

You could create an alternative, OPML version of the page, which is/was specifically for blogrolls :)

Opened an issue to track and implement. Thank you for the suggestion!
