## Editorial review

Independent crawler + index built by one developer. Heavily down-weights commercial junk and SEO-optimised content; favors text-heavy, low-flash sites. Best for long-tail technical reading, niche communities, personal homepages. Tiny index but unique vantage point. Open-source Java.
