Website - Direct visitors to specific lists

[avoidthehack]

Hi.

This is a suggestion for the blocklist.site website (https://blocklist.site).

All of the blocking categories under the "Lists" drop down point to https://github.com/blocklistproject/Lists where they should point to the raw text files instead, like so:

• Advertising -> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/blocklistproject/Lists/master/ads.txt
• Phishing -> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/blocklistproject/Lists/master/phishing.txt
• Tracking -> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/blocklistproject/Lists/master/tracking.txt
• Fraud -> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/blocklistproject/Lists/master/fraud.txt
• Porn -> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/blocklistproject/Lists/master/porn.txt
• Gambling -> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/blocklistproject/Lists/master/gambling.txt
• Scams -> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/blocklistproject/Lists/master/scam.txt
• Malware -> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/blocklistproject/Lists/master/malware.txt
• TikTok -> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/blocklistproject/Lists/master/tiktok.txt

I think this will help visitors who are quickly looking for specific list categories versus getting directed to the general GitHub page where they have to "hunt" for the lists themselves; there are already several links pointing to the general GitHub page ("Explore All" and the GitHub link) for users who want to go there.

This is actually something we want to do and are currently working on getting done. I am hoping that it will be in the next push.

If you have any more suggestions we are all ears!

Only here to help. :)

Also FYI:

• There's a typo on the homepage (comeplete -> complete)
• Typo in the Lists drop down (Explorer All -> Explore All)

Since there are a lot of different lists, you may also want to consider grouping them in broader categories (like Facebook, TikTok, Twitter all under "Social Media")

I'll be submitting a pull request to fix some minor things I noticed with the github readme - is it appropriate to open an issue and link the pull request? Or just submit the pull?

You guys move fast! I'll let you know if I have any other ideas that may be helpful! I'll be submitting a separate PR momentarily.

Nice project you got going here. :)

We try. Especially on the remove requests. Once verified we try to remove them with in 24 hrs. Add request take a little bit longer and I am a little behind because there are really only 2 of us that do add requests.
