Comment on I'm creating a curated search engine for web developers. Asking for a feedback

It’s still in MVP, work in progress, hence the index is not “full”.

For me “web development” is everything that we might need for well, web. Servers, mongo docs all goes into the index (I’m adding it every day basically but also it takes some time to index stuff and I observe how this whole thing works as index grows).

ASP.NET goes into the index of course. If your website has dev resources and blog posts that would go into it as well. Recently one person suggested tons of Haskell blogs and they are being indexed as we speak.

I have also a different problem, dev.to has a lot of good resources but also tons of SEO spam and low quality content. It’s also freaking huge and while it was for some time in the index I had to remove it and think about it some more.

Where would you draw lines on mixed c content or technologies

For now the line is: does this website have anything that web devs would need? Yes? Then it might get in.

If it’s a blog about locomotive CPU programming then maybe not. Although mostly due to infrastructure costs. Indexing cost in the end but having some non related stuff in the index should not hurt the results.

All of what I wrote is the state for today. I’m changing my mind often as it’s still in “having fun” state.
