This is basically a website to let people experience an high-five hanging. So cruel.

I know this is a whole other project, but could do do this as a standalone app, essentially a custom built web browser (eg based on chromium)? Or maybe for desktop, could build as a chrome extension, and a mobile app?

I'm still pissed SU went down. Everyone I knew was trading sites back and forth.

Solace and Muskette are an odd pair, rather like my dogs.

After a little clicking around, it looks like a lot of teens are trying to bring that back.

Social Fixer & F.B. Purity are two extensions that can do that for FB to a certain extent.

I think it is because most people online were tech savvy up to some point, and they were able to and want to put up websites. These days you need to sift through bunch of normies swarming on twitter and other places to get a connection.

/r/random loads a random subreddit.

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

I used to love reddit when it was more like this too.
2008-2012 reddit was amazing.
Right around 2011 is when it first started getting too hivemindy, not in the fun way where people have the same thoughts but where ideas and ideals started getting so aligned that people with simply different opinions were being downvoted to the point of oblivion.
2016 is when this got kicked into high gear.
2020 is when reddit effectively died.
I'm not sure why I am still here at this point, except that the alternatives all suck too.

Honestly. A NSFW version of the site would be cool.

When I use Cloudhiker from my browser on PC, I sometimes "overclick" and end up jumping past something that I realize too late is of interest. Unfortunately, I can't go back, and my browser does not record my visit in the browser history, so the site is forever lost to me. Perhaps there is a Cloudhiker history list that could help, but I haven't gone much deeper than clicking the Stumble button so far. I used SU several years ago and really enjoyed it. The privacy issues that make it necessary to click through to many sites makes this a clunkier alternative to the original, but I still like it and would use it more often if there was a way to "go back." Thanks for the clicks!

Unwillingness to pay for services has built the ad economy, which I personally think is an enormous travesty.

With all the super easy web building tools and CMS systems I'm not sure why this isn't a thing again. Especially with how advanced social media is. You could easily have an interface to change a ton of settings and make your fb or insta look a specific way, play annoying ass music, and all kinds of shit.

Next, someone make a StumbleReddit app.
Round and round we go!

Usually I'm the one that leaves people hanging, now I know how it feels.
Edit: Took a few minutes but it got answered from Germany.
