Foundry93 opened as an effort to map a portion of the public web — a straightforward project to build a searchable record of sites that are live, accessible, and maintained. The directory accepts free submissions from site operators, places approved entries into subject-specific beats, and keeps the record open for public use without charge or registration. The directory is organised into twenty-two beats, each covering a distinct subject area. Operators submit a URL, select a beat, and provide a brief description of what their site does. The desk reviews each submission to confirm the URL is live before placing an entry on the public record. The process is deliberate and simple — Foundry93 is a reference tool, not a platform. Foundry93 does not assign rankings, weight entries by traffic, or adjust the public record based on commercial considerations. Every approved submission occupies the same position in the index: placed on record by subject category and listed in the order received by the desk. The directory is free to submit to and free to browse. There are no sponsored positions, featured listings, or tiered access levels. If you maintain a website and want it included in the public record, the submission form is open.
