EVRTHN.com, a Search Engine for the “Metaverse”

Hey HN! As a geriatric Millennial, I used to spend an ungodly amount of time hanging around IRC and discovering sites on the old web. During the Pandemic, I got into hanging around standup comedy hangouts in VRChat. Taking friends to visit a virtual Mcdonald's[1] or joining a Karaoke party in a Minecraft world[2] brought back that sense of rapport and presence (multiplied by 1000) from my IRC days. Problem is, finding any of this content is extremely difficult. Most of it is locked inside native apps and isn't semantically relevant to Google (I could never imagine there are tons of people…

In plain words

EVRTHN.com is a search engine designed to help users discover content within virtual worlds and metaverse platforms. It indexes news, events, virtual worlds, and assets from multiple apps and websites including VRChat and Minecraft, making this content searchable in one place. The tool is built for people exploring virtual social spaces, from comedy hangouts to yoga classes, who struggle to find these experiences scattered across native applications that traditional search engines don't index.

Hey HN! As a geriatric Millennial, I used to spend an ungodly amount of time hanging around IRC and discovering sites on the old web. During the Pandemic, I got into hanging around standup comedy hangouts in VRChat. Taking friends to visit a virtual Mcdonald's[1] or joining a Karaoke party in a Minecraft world[2] brought back that sense of rapport and presence (multiplied by 1000) from my IRC days. Problem is, finding any of this content is extremely difficult. Most of it is locked inside native apps and isn't semantically relevant to Google (I could never imagine there are tons of people attending Yoga classes or morning stretch sessions or going to the church every week, in VR!). So I repurposed an open source project[3], enlisted a couple of folks to hack together, and we're now indexing a ton of content from sites & apps - news, events, worlds, assets - and making it all searchable. This is still very much an alpha, and mostly focused on content from VRChat and AltspaceVR (plus some news outlets), but I'd love to hear your thoughts & feedback.

    Hey HN, I've been working on https://pornpen.ai, a site for generating adult images. Please only visit the site if you are 18+ and willing to look at NSFW images. This site is an experiment using newer text-to-image models. I explicitly removed the ability to specify custom text to avoid harmful imagery from being generated. New tags will be added once the prompt-engineering algorithm is fine-tuned further. If the servers are overloaded, take a look at the feed and search pages to look through past results. For comments/suggestions/feedback please visit…
