    And you need to stop telling everyone what we need! "You might be interested in this <thing> if you have this and that" sounds so much more reasonable.

    Not sure I get it. Why a "ring"? Why not just have a list of web-site URLs on a page and share that page with your friends and ask them to put that page somewhere on their site?

    "Ring" means you are navigating linearly and circularly. Isn't it better to provide a list of links so users can choose where they want to go "next"?

    And why should I have to go around the whole "ring" to get back to where I started from? The Web is based on hyperlinks, not "hyper-rings".

    Using a Cloudflare Worker to implement a web 0.9 feature

      Yeah seems overkill. Back in the day (1990s) you'd use a serverless script in the "Personal HomePage" language.

      These days you could do this in client side JS, mayhe fetch the static list from a Gitgub blob or one of the sites in the group.

        Pardon, how do you do a serverless php page?
        • hahahaa 7 minutes ago
          Well, shared hosts let you upload the PHP file via FTP (or secure FTP if lucky!) to ~/public_html and serve it without administering a server.

      Why not. It's easy.
