We build ind-x — a decentralized search engine on Nostr.
ind-x
A search engine that crawls the web and publishes metadata to the Nostr network — making the index distributed and queryable by anyone.
Try ind-xHow we think
-
01
Decentralized by default
The index lives on Nostr relays, not a single company's database.
-
02
Minimal data collection
We don't track queries or build user profiles. Search stays private.
-
03
Open protocols > closed platforms
Build on Nostr, HTTP, open standards. Interoperability is a feature.
-
04
Small team, big leverage
Workers, not servers. Code that scales without infrastructure sprawl.
What we're exploring
The ind-x architecture opens adjacent problems we're curious about.
- Semantic layer Structured data extraction that makes the index queryable by meaning, not just keywords
- Personal indexes User-controlled subsets of the global index — your own searchable slice
- Agent-readable web Metadata formats designed for LLMs and autonomous agents, not just humans
