For this HN post, any website is welcome. A lot of URLs have already been shared and it will take me days to go through each one and add them to the directory. I may not add every URL posted here, but this thread is still open for people to share as many links as they like.
Also, the guideline of 100+ total votes across five or fewer posts is not a strict rule. It exists mainly to discourage submissions that point to very thin sites with little or no content. I have already made exceptions when a website has interesting content even if it has never been posted on HN or received many upvotes.
Also, a website shared today might not meet the 100+ votes guideline now but could meet it at some point in the future. That is another reason why all personal websites are welcome in this thread. Again, this is only a guideline, not a hard rule. If a site clearly meets the criteria, I can add it quickly and save time. If it does not, I will spend a bit more time checking that it is not spam and that it genuinely has something interesting to offer.
err, criteria means 'required' not guidelines.
And encouraging 'Any personal website is welcome, whether it is a blog, digital garden, personal wiki or something else entirely' but then saying you're discouraging submissions with little content etc. Who knows what people decided to put on their personal domains, ya know?
Anyways, obviously a ton of ppl just threw in their urls here without much concern so it's up to you what you want to include. Onwards!
Fair enough. Updated the README. More discussion under this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46626456
