Hello all!
I joined tilde.club a couple days ago, and I had the idea to improve the webring so that it has "next" and "previous" links, so that you actually can follow the ring to the end and arrive where you started, one page after the other.
Since this can only work if every page has the webring snippet in it, I have made it so that participation is opt-in: only users with a ~/.ring file in their home are used.
The implementation is fully server-side, so browsers without javascript enabled can enjoy it as well.
I explain in detail how to join the webring at https://tilde.club/~cosarara/ring_info.html
And you can see it in action at https://tilde.club/~cosarara/
I would expect people to get creative with the presentation of the snippet. Say, instead of "Previous page" and "Next page" having <- -> or unicode arrows, or using an old style image map, etc. It would be cool if they didn't all look the same, is my point.
Right now, the ring has only 2 users in it (me, ~cosarara, and ~deepend), so it is quite short.
If you like the idea, please join! And if you don't, or have questions, just reply to this thread :)
Peace, ~ cosarara
