This looks like a different approach to web rings with additional tagging functionality.
I saw this a few days and I feel pretty conflicted about it. On the one hand, it seems like an interesting and useful concept. On the other hand, it seem like yet another indie-web thingy to implement that’s again disconnected from all the others.
Yeah, I probably won’t implement this myself. Looks like a lot of hassle for not nearly enough gain.
I’m kind of in agreement with the rest of you here. Thought at first read it does seem like if it had widespread implementation, it could be used as an interesting niche search engine. I did go look for some tags on their directory pages, but was only able to find them on the example pages they listed. I think it would be fun to see a listing of tags that you can pull in using the protocol, as a way of exploring new websites. A bit like a directory, not one that could lead you to individual sub pages instead of a site’s landing page.
