What Thicket is
Thicket is a free, hand-curated index of 831 websites, filed across 22 subject sections. It works the way a good reference index should: each site is reviewed individually, given a plain name, a working link, and a short description of what it actually does, then filed under the section where it belongs.
How entries are catalogued
Every entry in the Thicket index is filed by hand. The curator reads each site, assigns it a name, writes a short description, and places it in one of the 22 sections. Entries that go offline are removed; new entries are added as submissions are reviewed. The index does not aggregate feeds, scrape search results, or rank sites by payment.
Submitting your site
If you run a website, you can submit it for consideration at no charge. Choose the section that best fits your site, add your URL, and submit the form. The curator reviews all submissions and adds approved sites to the index. There is no fee and no obligation — the index is free to browse and free to join.
What you will not find here
Thicket does not rank sites by ad spend, popularity score, or any algorithm. There are no sponsored listings, no tracking, and no pay-to-feature positions. What you find in the index is what the curator judged worth filing — nothing more, nothing less.
