It includes only 17 URLs: https://susam.net/wander/wander.js

17 + 11 URLs from https://dahlstrand.net/wander/wander.js + 26 URLs from https://www.siddharthagolu.com/wander/wander.js that I link to from the above link. So 54 URLs so far.

The number of URLs grow as more people add this tool to their website and add each other as neighbours. The tool is capable of discovering neighbouring consoles and showing URLs from there.

Did we just reinvent webrings 25 years later? :)

(Not a diss. Webrings were cool.)

Love this, but I need it to allow me to break the frame. I found some neat sites, but I need a button to open them in a new tab, frame-free, if I want to.

Thank you for taking a look at this project. I'm glad you liked it.

You make a fair point. I put this together in about 1.5 hours in the early hours of the morning while taking a break from other academic work, so it is not as polished as it could be. Adding an 'Open' button to launch a link in a new tab sounds like a useful feature. I will consider this for the next update. Thank you for the feedback!

Firefox has a neat feature for this; if you right click an iframe, it'll have a "This Frame" menu with options including "Open Frame in New Tab".

Duplicate of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47427388

Yes, they are duplicates, although the links themselves are distinct. The current post points to my website, whereas the other points to my Git project. But they are indeed duplicates, in the sense that both refer to the same project.

Further, this post is from a new account with no posting history that has copied my submission (along with the exact wording) from <https://lobste.rs/s/hjipba/>. Copying the wording is no problem at all. I appreciate the visibility this post is bringing to this rather little project of mine. But I am not sure whether this post was made by a genuine user or by a bot. Any clarification from the poster or the moderators would be helpful.

I am also worried that one or both of these submissions may get flagged as duplicates. I had submitted the project myself earlier today at <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47422759> but it did not gain any traction. I have emailed the moderators to ask whether it would be possible to merge the multiple stories into one.

This one may well get flagged as it appears to resolve to random content too.

Oh, that's neat. I think to really understand it though I'll have to explore it and experiment with hosting my own Console.

So is this web rings all over again?

It is StumbleUpon over again.

There is indeed a lot of similarity with webrings and StumbleUpon but there are some differences as well. I discuss this in more detail in the project README here: https://codeberg.org/susam/wander#faq

Delightful!

This is actually pretty cool. Once I have my own personal webpage, I may even add this tool to it.

It is a project I keep postponing lol

Ahhh... this is like my OneRandomSite.com from... 2006 or so... nice.

I think we need things like this. To be reintroduced over and over.
