Funny, one of the posts has the following hashtag: #humanwritten

I use are.na to store links in appropriate channels. I have their chrome extension mapped to a keyboard shortcut on my desktop. On mobile I use a separate shortcut. I save links many times throughout the day, trying to curate content that I think is useful or interesting. I’m building several tools derived from this practice.

An app i made that surfaces a random page harvested from a few interesting channels: https://moonjump.app/

Yeah, pretty similar to StumbleUpon. Right now the links are sourced from a handful of are.na channels and some other collections of content. I plan on warehousing this data and tagging it such that users can configure categories of sites that they'd like to stumble upon. HN submissions are mixed into the algorithm as well.

hahahha. try the search engine - it uses the marginalia API and will select a random result to embed. maybe don't search for herpes though.

it starts with sourcing - finding a massive set of interesting pages, then going through and giving them tags. planning on adding this to my web discovery app as well: https://moonjump.app/

Awesome. I have a project with a similar tik-tok-esque philosophy for serving all sorts of noncommercial content from the web. The interface is one button and a random page is embedded in an iframe. I use random wikipedia pages as a fallback in case my algorithm returns a dead page.
I call it moonjump: https://moonjump.app/

It’s a window into the small web. Just click a button to open a random site harvested from are.na, marginalia, etc. It used to just be a server but ever since I’ve made this TikTok-esque UX I’ve been kinda addicted to it

Gonna plug my project: https://moonjump.app/
I have a keyboard shortcut that opens moonjump.app/jump, which will redirect to a random site

I like this sentiment. A Wittgenstein collection called “Philosophical Grammar” contains a lot of these kinds of thoughts.

Best of luck. Easily my favorite project. Emailed Viktor last year about using the marginalia API for my side project[1] and he responded almost immediately. I use the API to get marginalia's arcane search results for a given query and choose a random link from those results to redirect. Endless fun.
Hope to see it continue to grow until the internet goes dark.

Oops. I tried to post https://moonjump.app/devtools, which is a server that redirects to a random tool from a very long list of links. The post seems to have hit the server and chosen the first link as the URL
