If you haven't checked out the "Surpise me" button on https://wiby.me https://wiby.me I strongly suggest you do. These digital gardens are still out there even if sadly stuck in time.

I've used that button so many times to find things. I wish there was another directory that had the same unique feel but a bit more modernized. Wiby seems to be only one era or feel.

    I got some quality issues right now. Kinda works but not as well as I'd want.

      It's gotten famous enough that people have started optimizing for it?

        Nah, just been working on low level stuff and I haven't had the time to do a lot of the manual quality tuning that's always been necessary once in a blue moon. Downside of being a one man show is I only have so much attention to spend on tasks, so sometimes quality tuning gets a bit neglected.

  Gonna plug my project: https://moonjump.app/ https://moonjump.app/ I have a keyboard shortcut that opens moonjump.app/jump, which will redirect to a random site

  The guy behind StumbleUpon still seems to be doing things in that area. I'm not sure what went wrong with StumbleUpon; it worked well from the user end of things.

How odd. My 3rd click, it brought me to news.ycombinator.com - exactly what brought me there in the first place and open in another tab. I was very confused as I assumed the tab had closed but no, it just appeared to be luck of the surprise.

I wonder how many of these things have data exports, would be great to get a list of all the URLs. I'd like to peruse them, and save them to archive.org.
