I&#x27;m Luke Hackworth, developer of this site. It&#x27;s really difficult to find new websites nowadays. The big players penalize posts that lower engagement outside of their own sites, meaning most people are only exposed to a tiny portion of the real web.<p>I created Feldot to enable the exact opposite behavior, pushing the user to explore new domains. Instead of a link aggregator like HN or Reddit, it&#x27;s a domain aggregator, pointing to an entire website.<p>Because it&#x27;s tough to find new sites, I also created a tool to help find new sites, Feldot Explore[1]. It&#x27;s not just a list of domain names; each one was scanned to verify that a web server is running on it, and some basic scans were done to remove a majority(but not all) parked domains. The list was checked a year ago so it&#x27;s not exactly fresh, but I think the signal-to-noise ratio is still good enough.<p>I posted this a year ago and it gained no traction, which isn&#x27;t surprising considering its appearance. I revamped its UI, though it&#x27;s still very much a work in progress. Any feedback, positive or negative, is very appreciated!<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;feldot.com&#x2F;explore&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;feldot.com&#x2F;explore&#x2F;</a>
