Site archive and hyperlink tree

This is a historical link directory, not evidence of search rankings. Ordinary guides and tools stay within Philojain; this archive deliberately exposes original URLs for reference.

Three learning-site inventories use supplied HTML, sitemap files and every discovered hyperlink at all directory depths. Merch coverage is partial: its live sitemap returned 403, so only homepage-discovered pages are included.

Planned move: current philojain.com → merch.philojain.com; label2.philojain.com → philojain.com. Domains and redirects have not been changed.
