Here is a small site with a directory of Dillo-friendly services:

I'd like to develop this further and maintain it, so if anyone has feedback or additions, please let me know!
Sorry for the late reply. This is a very nice resource, thanks! I didn't knew half of those services.
Notice some links are broken as they have the http[s]:// prefix twice.
Thanks, fixed!
Provide Dillo-compatible alternatives to common services
I don't like too much the idea of promoting silos like Medium or Twitter, but that is my personal opinion and I not sure to which extend that should influence Dillo.
Yeah, that's somewhat of a dillema. I personally don't use those sites and don't really want to promote them either, but they are very popular and many people consider them essential. My original idea with the Dillectory was to target newer Dillo users, to show them that they can still use the services they are accustomed to. I guess a larger question is 'who is the average new Dillo user, and what are they trying to achieve by using Dillo'? Perhaps my assumptions are a little off-base. In any case, I'm certainly open to removing sites from the list if they are overly controversial or political.
I think for a section of "some sites to try Dillo", I would rather prefer to promote static sites that are simple and handwritten by humans which render good in Dillo and show what it is capable of (tables, image, floating elements, basic CSS, ...). Which after all, is what the web was originally made for.
Agreed. While the sites on my directory all 'work' in Dillo, they rarely look great. Having a list which really showcases the abilities of Dillo would be nice. I can try to help track down some sites which look especially good if you like.
Of course you cannot always avoid those places, so it is nice to have these directories handy. Your Dillectory fills nicely this need, so I think it would be nice to place it in an "additional resources" section.
That would be awesome, thanks! The idea of running a 'rogue' directory which is not wanted by the Dillo project was a worry of mine, and so I will do whatever possible to make sure that the content serves a mutual interest. Regards, Alex
