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.

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.

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web was originally made for.

Probably I'll need to carefully cherry pick those, as there are a lot of 
blogs that render poorly, even if the content is nice.

The idea is not only to show that Dillo can render HTML documents 
nicely, but also to suggest that it is possible to have a Web without 
the current garbage.

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.

Best,
Rodrigo.
