Why not just an awesome-list
An awesome-list is a text file edited by hand, so it goes stale in silence. Every line here is derived from a check that actually ran.
It merges what is the same thing
www.beautifului.dev and beautifului.dev are one entry. So are
godly.website and recent.design — the first now redirects to the
second, and that rename is caught on the next refresh. Both names stay searchable.
It doesn't lie about what's alive
Checking for HTTP 200 and calling the rest dead deletes working sites: two of the first nine links tested returned 403 purely because Cloudflare dislikes robots. blocked is its own verdict, distinct from both.
It separates the pitch from the fact
A post says "the best animated components". The site's own title says what it is and what it's built with. The index searches the second and keeps the first as provenance — so you can see what was claimed and what is true.
It counts corroboration
When the same site arrives from a post and from a bookmark folder, that is recorded. Independent people pointing at one thing is a better signal than a star count, and no hand-written list has it.
Give it to your agent
{ "mcpServers": { "sifter": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "--package=@z10/sifter", "sifter-mcp"] } } }
Four tools: search, list, get, and submit. With no local library configured it serves the index shipped in the package, so an agent has something useful before you collect anything.
# pull every link out of a resource post npx @z10/sifter add https://x.com/…/status/… # import ONE named bookmark folder npx @z10/sifter chrome --folder "Design" # verify + pull each site's real metadata npx @z10/sifter refresh
Bookmark import reads one folder you name and refuses to walk the tree — a bookmark bar is a design gallery sitting next to your employer's admin panel. Node 20+, zero dependencies, no API key.
Found something good?
Submissions are verified on your machine before they become anyone else's problem — privacy screen, liveness check, the site's own metadata, duplicate check. What reaches a maintainer is a verified record rather than a bare link.
npx @z10/sifter submit https://example.com \ --note "what it gives you that the alternatives don't"
