#curlie formerly #dmoz. Also hi to @Curlie

Stumbled onto Curlie (https://curlie.org/), I'm surprised there isn't more visibility of this on masto given its non-commercial nature.
Its an open human curated website directory which built on what DMOZ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMOZ) had and in some ways feel like a much more elegant (if partial) alternative to the sledgehammers that are indexing crawlers.
Looking forward to see if I can use this for relatively static items like reference materials and portals (library sites, etc). It won't be anywhere near complete for local shops and more ephemeral things like blogs.
Are there any other users here on masto who can comment on longterm Curlie usability?
