Does anyone maintain a Yahoo-like directory anymore? I used to love browsing the internet that way, and I feel like it would be a really interesting way to find websites rather than content.

I agree, but I think such a project is just not realistic anymore. If you make it publicly editable (like a wiki) it'll just be full of spam, and if you don't, then you need swathes of human editors. And then you get into endless fruitless debates on exactly which websites should be listed and which should be excluded.
I've had some luck googling "awesome" "<topic>" "github" -- people make lists of projects and links and papers and such and I've found some gems on there when I'm looking for dataviz or csv cli tools or what have you.
