uwusearch is a handmade search engine! That means that I (a real human, not an algorithm) personally chose every link on here. Because of that, I can guarantee that every single link is something at least someone (me) enjoys or appreciates. uwusearch is like a personal website, but if the whole thing was the links page.
Because uwusearch is handmade, it has a lot of benefits that algorithmic search engines just don’t have. For example, less analysis paralysis and more actually relevant results. There aren’t a near infinite amount of websites on uwusearch, just the ones that I find really useful. The nice thing with that is, either I can help you well, or it’s clear without wasting much of your time that I can’t. With an algorithmic search engine, there's so many results that it's easy to reason there's bound to be something helpful eventually, causing you to waste more time and often not even find it because there's an unfeasible amount to sift through.
[incomplete paragraph] Only things that I appreciate in some way will go on uwusearch by the way. If you appreciate something that I don't have on here, I'd love for you to try and share that appreciation with me. That said, I can't force myself to appreciate something I don't, and I'll be honest about that and not link things I don't appreciate now and/or yet (or if they make me sufficiently uncomfortable, which can happen for things I also appreciate; notably, things that make me uncomfortable don't necessarily at all mean that I think they're wrong in some way - I have OCD for one, which is frustrating and lowkey debilitating to deal with, and certain things just *do* set it off)
A part of the goal of uwusearch is the idea of wanting to love things that other people love, even if you don’t quite get them yet. I want to make uwusearch a thing that can help people to appreciate things like how other people who care about them deeply do. If there’s something that you really love that you think will be hard for other people to find, you can submit it to me, and I’ll check it out myself and probably put it on here! You can also make your own website similar to uwusearch, but filled up with things you love too. Your own little map of your neighborhood of the internet. I hope that one day the predominant means available to navigate the web will be via an interconnected, well, web, of individual peoples' curation projects (ofc not necessarily like mine; uwusearch is very particularly it's own thing, in ways influenced by tendencies probably partially stemming from my OCD - in this way I'm sure many others' are very particularly their own things too). Anyways, if you do decide to make (or already have) your own curational website thing, please let me know if you’d like (through the above form or email), and I’ll probably appreciate it, and probably add a link somewhere :)
