Founder notes
General web directory operating since 2005, ~134k links. Free listings reviewed when a reviewer has time and inclusion is not guaranteed; paid featured listings appear at category top. Odd note: free tier is for English sites while the $4.95 featured note says the site should not be in English.

- Audience overlap with your launch goal
