Why This Matters

Wander introduces a decentralized approach to web browsing by allowing users to explore a network of personal websites through individual consoles. This innovative tool promotes a more community-driven and personalized web experience, emphasizing the small web movement. Its open setup encourages users to create and share their own consoles, fostering a collaborative browsing environment.

Key Takeaways

Note that you don't really need to change console to browse the Wander network. This console can fetch recommendations from other consoles, then from the consoles they link to and so on recursively. However, you can switch consoles if you prefer to browse the network from another website.

By wandering to another console, you will leave the current console on this website and reach a Wander console on a different website. You can then continue wandering the Web using the console on that website.

About Wander x

Hello! You are currently on a Wander console! A Wander console lets you browse random websites and pages from the Wander community. The Wander community consists of individuals who develop and maintain their own personal websites.

To set up your own Wander console, download this ZIP file, extract index.html and wander.js, and place them in the /wander/ directory of your website. Then edit wander.js by following the directions at codeberg.org/susam/wander.

That's it! Once your /wander/ directory is ready on your web server, you can share a link to your Wander console in this community thread. Hopefully, someone will add your console to theirs and you will become part of the Wander network.
