Did someone just reinvent Yahoo as it existed in 1994?

I hope so, it was useful then, useful now!

I don't think it's that simple. It was useful then because web discoverability was an unsolved problem, and web content was tiny compared to today. A directory sort of fit the need. As the web grew directories became bloated and hard to navigate, search became more useful.

This is more of a nostalgia or niche link list. It's not the same purpose as yahoo in the 90s.

I think that search engines like Google are unbeatable to find content that we already know about. On the other hand, those lists are great to discover what we don't already know about, such as new topics, etc. Just like the awesome lists on GitHub.

What are these lists you're talking about? Could you give an example?
