Delightful Lists

A project similar to Sindre Sorhus' (the dev behin Velja and many, many other apps) Awesome^[1] is Delightful which is "an initiative by Arnold Schrijver for Social coding commons.":

The internet can be a wonderful place. A place that unites people, to exchange ideas. It allows people to cooperate and unleash their creativity. This brought forth great sources of information and knowledge, open science and many beautiful free software projects to enrich our lives with. The internet has the potential to bring our minds together. To set us free.

But increasingly commercial interests are thwarting the vision of what the internet can bring to humanity. The gems of free knowledge and open source software are harder to find these day. Drowned out by marketing, advertising and SEO they do not appear in the top of our search results anymore.

Delightful lists are an effort to help bring change to this trend. To make freedom more discoverable again. This top-level space facilitates navigation to all the wonderful curated lists that are created and maintained all over the web.

Anyone that wishes to do so can craft and garden their own directory list on a subject that has their passion, and help the commons make small steps towards freedom and prosperity.

Delightful indeed.

P.S.: If I had known about this earlier, for example, I probably would've had an easier time finding a VPS hoster. I am now with OVH which isn't on the list and I am not keen on moving again, but still nice. Like for example: "We take the utmost care to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Our power is bought from ETC EL, a non profit organization and leading ecological power provider. All waste heat is kept and powers the farm's green house. During summer solar panels provide all electricity and the excess is sold back to the grid." Cool, inspiring stuff.
