Ask HN: What Modern Alternatives for WebRings are there?

4 points by jdsalaro ↗ HN
Hey there HN,

after the debacle with Reddit, Twitter, et al I've decided to stop posting to walled gardens and instead focus on sharing and co-creating with my peers and whoever comes across our stuff.

I remember reading about modern alternatives for WebRings but can't for the life of me find them or remember what they were called! Tiny web? TinyRing? SmallWeb? Does this ring a bell for some of you?

Alternatively, I'd appreciate if you could share ideas and approaches to alternative/indy syndication or agreggation.

Thanks !

Start your own! Some friends and I did this way back in the Geocities era(well slightly past; I believe we got more serious when we were all self-hosting back in the early aughts). All a web ring is, is a link to the next site, the previous site, and sometimes you'd find an index. But trivial to implement, merely out of vogue.
