About

Wiby is a search engine focused on indexing older-style, lightweight web pages reminiscent of the early internet. It allows users to search for simple, topic-based personal pages rather than modern commercial websites. Users can also submit pages to be indexed and discover random classic-style sites via a 'surprise me' feature.

Problem

Modern search engines prioritize commercial, heavyweight websites, making it hard to discover simple, personal, old-style web pages.

For

enthusiasts of the early internet and classic web aesthetics

How it works

Wiby indexes lightweight, older-style web pages submitted by users and allows searching or random discovery of those pages.
