Litter Layer

Litter Layer is an indie search engine for discovering small, personal, and overlooked websites instead of SEO-heavy or AI-generated content. Its crawler, Patu, slowly explores the web, prefers sites without ad tech, ranks RSS-friendly pages higher, and lets visitors suggest or connect sites with a simple patu.txt file.
