By the way, what if we created a webring with the sites listed in the table?
So, I am not confident in my abilities or willingness for that project. But, for anyone who is, I would suggest reading through
Mr. Ray "brisray" Thomas' How Webrings Work (Webring Technology) article and moving forward from there. Depending on which of the webmasters you speak to from the list, I'm willing to bet some would prefer one method over another or may not be interested in participating at all (a webring implies participation from member sites vs. something more akin to a link directory).
In a similar vein, I've recently had the idea / interest / willingness to create something akin to the
Awesome Lists popularly found on Github. Basically: awesome-personal-web or something similar. Examples of these kinda lists include:
The motivation arises from that, so far, these kinds of curated lists for exploring personal websites are isolated, disjointed, single-person managed. For example: Mr. Thomas has diligently spent a lot of time amassing his
webrings list and the data on them. But he's just one (albeit GiggaChad) man with a life, job, interests. Same for me, in that right now the list is updated here and on my site, but, for how long?
I'm not entirely clear on what I envision, but when it's something so community-driven as this, I picture something more community-managed or at least involved... I'd love to hear what any of you thinks about the idea.
Edit: Forgot to talk about how I feel uncertain about using Github specifically for this. Big corporations and what-not. But would love to hear alternatives or arguments in any direction.
