List of all SharePoint active sites... in a list (modern)
How would I create a SharePoint list of active SharePoint sites?
I know I can view my active sites in SharePoint Admin Centre, but I want our users to be able to browse through in a modern experience a filtered list of all our active projects.
I know I could create a manual SharePoint list, but given we have hundreds of projects per year, I really need a list that automatically shows all active sites (we create all sites so they are accessible to all in the organisation).
A SharePoint List would be a helpful way to present them as I can apply filters, add columns and set views so that the lists show only certain types of projects, but open to other ideas. Any suggestions?

- Juan beat me to the option to write code to do this. Another way to do this - potentially - is to have an approval process based on a SharePoint list for all Teams/SharePoint sites (since every team creates a SharePoint site). This way you capture the request and you can add more details via new columns. Of course, if you don't have a controlled process, then the only options may be (a) script or (b) hubs.
- One possible way without having to write a line of code is the following:
(1) Create a Site that will be the entry point to the Project Sites
(2) Promote the Site to be a Hub Site
(3) Associate all the Project Sites to the Hub site
(4) Add a Sites WebPart to the Home page of the Hub Site and just configure it to get all the sites joined to the HubHi Juan & Andrew, those options don't quite work as I would like. Do you think I could use Power Automate to add a new site (trigger) to the SharePoint list when it is created? Writing code is not really an option, but think I could figure Power Automate.
- Can't find a trigger for new site, so how about
1. PowerApps to build a form
2. Send data to SharePoint list
3. PowerAutomate to trigger when a new item is added
a. Create the Microsoft Team
b. Add Member to the Team
c. Get SharePoint URL of Team (can you/how do you do this with Graph API???)
