That's big web thinking. A small website doesn't need to be discoverable. It's supposed to be for you, and if someone else stumbles upon it, and finds it useful or entertaining, that's a bonus.

I get the sentiment, but it has to discoverable to some extent, otherwise there's no real point in publishing it on a webserver.

I suppose just having the website online is enough to make it discoverable by search engines.

I have no idea how but people independently discovered my work and submitted it here on HN, reddit and lobsters. For a long time I avoided submitting it myself because I hate advertising with a passion and I absolutely did not want to advertise.

Really made my day when I came here and saw my domain on the front page.
