Why we built Weird Wonderful Web
A short note from us on what we are trying to do, and what we are trying not to do.
By Weird Wonderful Web editorial team
We built Weird Wonderful Web because we missed pressing a button and ending up somewhere we'd never seen before.
There are a lot of "discover the internet" tools, and most of them eventually become recommendation engines, a feed that learns what you like and stops surprising you. We didn't want to build that. We wanted a button that doesn't know who you are, doesn't track what you click, and gives you a randomly chosen page from a hand-curated pool of weird websites, indie games, and unusual gifts.
Things we are not trying to do: - Build a feed. - Build a profile of you. - Train a model on your clicks. - Sell your attention.
Things we are trying to do: - Keep the pool of links interesting and human. - Make every page on the site work in 30 languages. - Stay small enough to be ours, big enough to be useful.
Hit the button. Tell a friend. Submit a site. Welcome.
