🔗 Click Around, Find Out

Click around. Or tap around. Or do whatever you need to do in the browser of your choice. If we want the indie web to flourish, the very first thing people need to get used to is actually browsing the web again.
We call them web browsers for a reason. You're meant to browse.
My sense is that the recommendation engines for articles has the same flaw as music recommendation engines that gets people stuck in a loop. i.e. When given the option to pick between "everything" you mostly end up visiting the same 5 sites or listening to the same handful of albums because there's too much choice and we can't decide. They try to get you to explore a bit, the recommendation engines don't carry the authority or weight that a friend or blog you might follow, so you're back to the usual rotation in no time.
Want to browse more but not sure where to start? Visit to ooh.directory and start clicking. You're sure to find something of interest.
