Cardstock is a web directory kept the old-fashioned way. Instead of an algorithm deciding what you see, a person reads each site, writes a short plain-English description, and files it into the drawer where it belongs. The result is a catalogue you can actually trust — closer to a library card index than a search engine. The idea is simple. The early web ran on directories: human-curated lists you could browse by topic to find good sites you would never have thought to search for. Cardstock brings that back. Every one of the 793 sites here was filed by hand across 22 categories, and each carries a one-line summary so you know what a link is before you follow it. Listing is free and always will be. If you run a site worth filing, open 'Add your site', paste your URL, pick a drawer, and you're in — usually in under a minute. Submissions are reviewed by hand so the catalogue stays useful rather than turning into link spam. Cardstock isn't trying to replace your search engine. It's a calmer, slower way to find dependable sites by topic — and a permanent, free home for your own link.
