Ask HN: Software for creating my own Yahoo Directory or DMOZ
5 points by unicornporn on Sept 29, 2014 | hide | past | favorite | 5 comments
Now that Yahoo! Directory is disappearing, I'd like to create my own directory of websites. Are there any open-source software solutions for creating these kind of directories?



In my experience, directory scripts are similar to forums in that most of them are about a decade old, and very few of them have anything new or exciting to bring to the table.

That being said, my experience of directories is quite limited, so I'd be very interested in hearing about any newer directory scripts on the market.


Yeah, they all seem to be really old. Perhaps a simple thing like this would be possible to pull off with Jekyll.



Lot's of hits, but nothing that really does what I'm looking for. A "directory" can be a lot of things.


No, but this isn't that difficult of a project. I could probably throw together some boilerplate in a day.
