"The original idea of the web was that it should be a collaborative space where you can communicate through sharing information." - Tim Berners-Lee
Cozynet is a search engine designed to index and surface personal developer blogs. The public web has grown into a cesspool dominated by advertisements, spam, marketers, bots, and trolls. Top search engine results are saturated with SEO-optimized listicles, AI-generated slop, and paid promotions.
Cozynet attempts to exclude sites that contain paywalls, are associated with commercial entities, contain advertising, or track their visitors. Its purpose is to make accessible the treasure trove of independent blogs tended to by passionate developers seeking to share their knowledge with others free of profit-driven intent.
