Ask HN: Anyone want to start a webring?

3 points by LastZactionHero ↗ HN
I usually post to Medium, mostly project write ups and miscellaneous tech thoughts. I've liked it because it has a clean look and can help drive some traffic to your posts.

But Medium seems like it's taken a nosedive. Regardless of what I actually read, my feed is this political doomsday hellscape that predicts America breaking into civil war sometime today. Really not what I'm going for.

So I want to just self-host a blog, but I'll kind of miss the serendipitous reads. I'll likely be writing for no one.

Would there be an interest in a modern webring? Like a JS snippet that forwards you to other self-hosted blogs? I haven't found a modern implementation.

Thinking a maker/project sharing/misc tech theme.

I've been meaning to get into more writing. I've always been fascinated with creating tutorials, so maybe I would like to write about the music program, Reason.

Would this make any sense as a part of your network?

Something I found on hackernews a while back, https://blot.im

Has the clean minimal look you might be going for.

Cool! I always loved Reason.

Probably! My approach to start would probably be to just add anything that roughly fits the maker/creative theme.

I loved getting lost in webrings. I'm not sure I have much to write about but know that if there were a modern implementation it would be used.
