This webring is an attempt to inspire artists & developers to create and maintain their own website and share traffic among each other. The webring's aim is to share hand-crafted websites such as diaries, wikis & portfolios. To add yourself to the ring, submit an edit to this repository.
<a href='https://webring.xxiivv.com/#random' target='_blank'><img src='https://webring.xxiivv.com/icon.black.svg'/></a>
- Add the webring icon to your website html.
- Add your website information to the sites.js file. The
urlkey is required, but you can also includetitle,type,author,contact,rss, andfeed. - Submit a Pull Request with the location of the webring icon on your site.
Alternatively, if you your website has a dark background, use icon.white.svg. If your website is complaining about https, go ahead and host the icon yourself. Single page websites, and websites acting only as portals to other social platforms, will be rejected.
Instead of linking to the directory, you can also link to the next link in the ring by adding parts of your site or domain in the hash of the request url:
<a href='https://webring.xxiivv.com/#wiki.xxiivv' target='_blank' rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src='https://webring.xxiivv.com/icon.black.svg'/></a>
The Hallway is a decentralized forum using twtxt feeds.
To join, create a .txt file on your site, and add its URL to your webring entry as feed:. The content of the file should be a dateISO string, a tab(or 3 spaces) and a message:
2016-02-04T13:30:00+01:00 You can really go crazy here! ┐(ﾟ∀ﾟ)┌
2016-02-03T23:05:00+01:00 @<example http://example.org/twtxt.txt> welcome to twtxt!
2016-02-01T11:00:00+01:00 This is just another example.
2015-12-12T12:00:00+01:00 Fiat lux!
This file needs to be accessible via CORS, so if you're self-hosting, please make sure to allow the webring.xxiivv.com origin.
Here's an example of how to do so with Nginx:
location / {
index index.html;
if ($request_method = 'GET') {
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' 'https://webring.xxiivv.com';
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET';
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'DNT,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type,Range';
add_header 'Access-Control-Expose-Headers' 'Content-Length,Content-Range';
}
}
You don't need to allow all origins nor allow any other methods rather than GET, doing so can harm the security of your website, please read about Cross-Origin Resource Sharing if you intend to do anything more complicated.
This repository does not contain mature API capabilities, but there are a couple ways to request a list of sites and other information currently in the webring.
- Request sites.js on xxiivv or sites.js on github and parse it. An example can be seen here.
- If you'd like a already parsed list, webring-checker.now.sh/sites will return an json array of the site objects in the webring. See webring-checker.now.sh for more info on what else is available.
The ring is managed by @neauoire, but any member of the network is also welcome to join this repository as a collaborator to help manage new links and Pull Requests. Read more here.
