A boilerplate to host your own community of sites, also known as a [webring ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webring ).
Inspired by this post from [Charlie Owen ](https://www.sonniesedge.net/posts/webrings ).

Uses [Eleventy ](https://www.11ty.io ) and [Netlify ](https://www.netlify.com/ ) to build a central directory for member sites. People can link to `/prev` , `/random` and `/next` and be redirected to members of the ring.
