What is Wiby?
In the early days of the web, pages were made primarily by hobbyists, academics, and computer savvy people about subjects they were personally interested in. Later on, the web became saturated with commercial pages that overcrowded everything else. All the personalized websites are hidden among a pile of commercial pages. Google isn't great at finding them, its focus is on finding answers to technical questions, and it works well; but finding things you didn't know you wanted to know, which was the real joy of web surfing, no longer happens. In addition, many pages today are created using bloated scripts that add slick cosmetic features in order to mask the lack of content available on them. Those pages contribute to the blandness of today's web.
The Wiby search engine is building a web of pages as it was in the earlier days of the internet. In addition, Wiby helps vintage computers to continue browsing the web, as pages indexed are more suitable for their performance.
Comments and Reviews
Extremely interesting project. I love the index of small and obscure sites it has. I truly believe it to be one of the best ways to surf the web if you're bored, of course, seeing as it doesn't work great for standard every-day searches. Something you could certainly find yourself going through for hours.
I'm glad I found this little gem. It has a nostalgic aesthetic and reminds me of the early internet era. You will discover rare sites and historically forgotten pages. Definitely not a daily driver, but an interesting project for sure.
