Congrats on the launch! I find the name really nice and i think it has lot of potential for marketability.

Is the goal to have your website/blog only for friends or also for strangers? If its the second I think it would be nice to display "Random site of the day", "Most visited post of the month" and "Most visited page of the month".

This because i think there is people like me who dont write much but likes to read other peoples blogs and would be great for discovery

Thank you! I like the ideas and will think about it. I'm working on a concept for webrings which can be used to discover new sites. They'll work like this:

A webring consists of multiple sites. The oldest one comes first and newer ones get inserted at the end. Visitors can browse their way through all sites by using previous and next buttons. If a site is in multiple rings at once, visitors can hop onto another ring and continue from there. I think it'll be a fun way to discover new sites that doesn't rely on some kind of performance measure like upvotes or views.

In addition to that, every webring will have a feed overview where the latest blog posts of all sites in the ring are listed. I'll have to think about moderation carefully, here.

It's really tempting to implement something like upvotes but I think without them it'll be a calmer experience. I also didn't implement analytics yet (IP addresses are not tracked).

Thanks for your comment!
