it was by no means low effort

I'll check them out!

despite this limitation, there is still some good stuff out there, and with the priority steering, you can focus compute on what you actually want, fast and cheap.

There are all kinds of websites in here lol. There is some gold in here and I'm determined to surface it all. I had to wrap this up without full analysis cos it was dragging on

Ah, I forgot to mention that anywhere. You have to provide your own. You can start from a small set, like 10 websites you like that have a bit of character, and it will also add any domains it finds from those 10

It's not for that, sorry, I should have been more specific. It's for people who wanna put in the effort and steer their own crawl to surface their own slice of the web. The article is just a little story of the journey

Check out my latest project! You can fork it, tweak the policy manually or with AI, run the system and watch the data come in! It's engineered to keep a low data footprint, so 500k domains fits into 1GB on disk. If you have local models it's free! You just might not get the best throughput depending on your GPU. My production data is not exposed anywhere yet, and I may never expose it. The point is for you to fork and make your own policy, and thus your own personal search engine! The article covers basic analysis on my data, so it's worth a read if you're interested! A deeper analysis may arrive with V2 if I ever do it
