# Himalayan Lighthouse - full brief ## What it is A live exposure engine for one network of 33 websites: a round every 10 minutes. It reads what the World is looking up right now (what people search for country by country, most-read encyclopedia subjects per language, strong earthquakes and orange or red disaster alerts, the international day, and a rotation that gives the next turn to the site with the least light lately) and watches every site of the network for pages it publishes itself. It picks the site that answers, opens the exact page, checks that it answers, then announces it: IndexNow with that site's own key for pages that are new, a Telegraph page per site, a Nostr identity per site, a Fediverse account per site, and this site's feed. It also lists each site, once, on launch sites and directories that exist to list new products. ## Resolution rules 1. A site is in the network when Reach 02 (https://reach2.aplusz.app/sites.json) lists it. The list is read every 10 minutes: a site that joins is lit, and every page of it announced, within minutes. 2. A page is called "lit" only after it answered HTTP 200 to this engine. 3. A page counts as "announced" only when the search engine accepted the notice (HTTP 200 or 202). 4. Nothing tragic, adult or cruel is ever used to draw visitors. A course is opened for subjects, never for a person. 5. A site's own new pages are found through its sitemap dates. The first look only sets the starting line: nothing old is announced. 6. Listings are made under one maker identity (Verge Heights), on free plans only. A bot check or a price ends the visit: nothing is bypassed, nothing is paid. 7. The Fediverse accounts are marked as automated, follow nobody and never reply or mention anyone. 8. Each site's weather is watched: a site that does not answer twice in a row is not announced until it answers again. ## Fields - site: name, slug, host, url, description, languages[], door (Reach 02), wikidata, lit_since - moment: id, site, title, line, url, lang, kind (wiki | match | quake | alert | day | ever | fresh), at - feed of one site: https://himalayan-lighthouse.dumaguete.uk/feed/{slug}.xml (Atom) - fediverse account of a site: @{slug}@himalayan-lighthouse.dumaguete.uk (ActivityPub actor at https://himalayan-lighthouse.dumaguete.uk/ap/u/{slug}, found through WebFinger) - numbers: sites, moments, pings, posts, visits, clicks (33, 9, 7, 13, 485, 2 at the time of this file) ## URL grammar - https://himalayan-lighthouse.dumaguete.uk/{lang}/ - the lighthouse, in that language - https://himalayan-lighthouse.dumaguete.uk/{lang}/now - lit pages, newest first - https://himalayan-lighthouse.dumaguete.uk/{lang}/s/{slug} - one site - any of the above plus .md - the Markdown twin ## Citation Himalayan Lighthouse, retrieved {date}, {url} ## The sites ### Globe Warn Address: https://globewarn.com/ Page here: https://himalayan-lighthouse.dumaguete.uk/en/s/globe-warn What it answers: Warnings for every natural disaster on Earth, drawn from official public agencies and checked every 15 minutes.
