Wander is a tiny, decentralised, self-hosted web console built with just two static files (index.html and wander.js) that lets visitors explore random personal websites from a community network. Everything runs client-side with no server-side components needed. Each console defines its own list of recommended pages and links to other consoles, forming a peer-to-peer browsing network similar in spirit to webrings or StumbleUpon but without any central authority. The project was motivated by limitations of Kagi Small Web and was built in a couple of hours, released under the MIT licence.

<p>Oh, so a self-hosted, curated “StumbleUpon” kind of a solution? 🙂 I kind of miss just clicking that button and seeing where I would land.</p>
<p>From today’s perspective, though, I think it’s better it died - chances of running into a malicious website by stumbling would be pretty high.</p>
