Hey all,
I've been working on an idea today and I'd like to share it with you all.
Earlier we were discussing webrings, and I've created something I think
will satisfy some (not all, but you can't please everybody) people's ideas
of how a webring would work. I'm calling it an "orbit" (in keeping with
the space theme), and the basic idea is pages that want to participate
link to a special page that redirects people to the last page, the next
page, or even a random page in the orbit. I've also created a software
setup for doing it, and a public version people can join.
Introducing LEO, a public orbit that anyone* can join: all you have to do
is follow the instructions at gemini://tilde.team/~khuxkm/leo/, and
whenever GUS catches on that you've linked to LEO, you should be added to
the list! Along with the release of LEO, I'm also releasing Molniya, the
code which runs LEO, so that others can start their own orbits without
having to worry about coding it themselves.
(*) People who are blocked by GUS or are not indexed by GUS for some
reason *can* join LEO but it's a more involved process that involves
emailing me. Luckily, if you're not blocked by GUS you can add your
capsule to GUS's index pretty easily.
Just my two cents,
Robert "khuxkm" Miles

Very cool. Thanks for setting this up, Robert. I really love the "orbit"
name for Gemini webrings. Let's hope it gains more widespread usage.
Cheers,
Gary
