—About

A reference implementation.

DMOZSTYLE is a directory of editor-vetted links built on a custom Zig database server. The reading experience requires zero JavaScript; the index, taxonomy, and search are served from a single static binary.

Principles

Four principles.

01
Editor-vetted by default
Every link reviewed by a human steward before landing in the index.
Browse
02
Hierarchical, not algorithmic
Sixteen ODP-style top-level categories, no scoring, no reordering.
Browse
03
Open and inspectable
Single static binary, embedded database, all data on disk in plain pages.
Browse
04
Non-extractive
No tracking, no sign-up wall to read, no advertising.
