This is the console you have loaded on your browser. The base console fetches website recommendations from itself as well as other remote consoles and shows them to you.

Remote Console

Console Neighbours

This console lists the following consoles as its neighbours:

    You can wander to a neighbouring console by clicking one of the links above. Note that you do not really need to change console to browse the Wander network. The host console can fetch recommendations from other consoles, then from the consoles they link to and so on recursively. However, if you want to explore other consoles, you may click one of the links above.

    Pages

    This console recommends the following pages to the Wander community:

      If you click on any link above, you will navigate away from this console to the selected page.

      Ignore List

      This console ignores URLs matching the following patterns:

        A URL that matches an ignore pattern is never recommended in this console, even if it appears in the recommendation lists of this console or other remote consoles.

        Ignore patterns are normalised before matching. The URL scheme, query parameters and fragments are ignored, matching is case-insensitive and the patterns act like prefixes. A pattern such as https://example.com/foo/ matches both HTTP and HTTPS URLs for the same site, as well as all pages under that path.

        Wandering History

        Your wandering history from the current session, in reverse chronological order:

          Each item above includes three links: the console that recommended a page, the wander.js file of that console and the page that was recommended.

          Discovered Consoles

          The following consoles were discovered during this wandering session:

            Each item above includes four links: the recommending console and its wander.js file, followed by the recommended console and its wander.js file.

            If you click on any link above, you will navigate away from this console to the selected console. The selected console will then become your new base console.

            Version  

            Hello! You are currently on a Wander console! A Wander console lets you browse random websites and pages from the Wander community. The Wander community consists of individuals who develop and maintain their own personal websites.

            To set up your own Wander console, download this ZIP file, extract index.html and wander.js and place them in the /wander/ directory of your website. Then edit wander.js by following the directions at codeberg.org/susam/wander.

            That's it! Once your /wander/ directory is ready on your web server, you can share a link to your Wander console in this community thread. Hopefully, someone will add your console to theirs and you will become part of the Wander network.
