Yeah, I remember webrings back in the day and absolutely miss it. The discovery aspect of it was awesome! You come across a great article through a search engine and are curious who the author likes reading.

Most centralized platforms seem to recommend other authors based entirely on the topic. You’re reading a post about Rails Generators? It’ll recommend other articles about the same thing. With WebRings it was way more diverse than that. End up on an electronics page and discover all sorts of other fascinating authors doing entirely different things.
