Whatever happened to stumbleupon? I feel like that was a popular website that served this purpose.
- ss64 3y agostumbleupon was reliant on putting websites into a frame with their menu at the top, once websites started blocking the framing of their content, for various security reasons, the idea was dead.
- xaellison 3y agonice thanks for the history!
- dartos 3y agoI miss stumbleupon. It was a tool for an exciting experimental internet. Nowadays I can only imagine it’d be flooded with odd numbered list articles.
- marginalia_nu 3y agoI built https://search.marginalia.nu/explore/random https://search.marginalia.nu/explore/random and https://explore.marginalia.nu https://explore.marginalia.nu to try to capture the old stumbleupon vibe. It's manually curated though so not the most scalable thing I've put together. Wish I had more time to expand on this, seems on the cusp of being pretty cool.
- mario_kart_snes 3y agoHow do I submit a link for this?
- marginalia_nu 3y agoI haven't built a clean workflow for that yet, but in the interim, make a pull request here: https://github.com/MarginaliaSearch/PublicData/blob/master/sets/random-domains.txt https://github.com/MarginaliaSearch/PublicData/blob/master/s... and I'll poke it into the DB. If you don't want to dirty your hands with github, you can send me an email at kontakt@marginalia.nu :-)
