Webring Starter Kit

A boilerplate to host your own community of sites, also known as a webring.
Inspired by this post from Charlie Owen.

Uses Eleventy and Netlify to build a central directory for member sites. People can link to /prev, /random and /next and be redirected to members of the ring.

See the Demo Site

• Admins manage the ring on Github
• Let people add their site through pull request or submit via Netlify Form
• Publish a Code of Conduct
• Provide an embed code that renders a badge (as a web component)
• Publish an index of all member RSS feeds

How to host a ring

1. Fork this repo
2. Edit src/data/meta.json and fill in your community info
3. Remove the demo members in src/data/members.json
4. Deploy your site to Netlify
5. After you've set a domain, enter that in meta.json as well.
