OpenWebring: a webring that says who made it (#178)
One file a ring serves about its members, one file a member may serve about itself, plain links between them, and a made_by declaration on every member (human, ai, both) so a reader can follow the human web or the machine web on purpose. Six hop rules that accept every addressing shape rings already use (?from=, ?host=, ?via=, ?url=, a slug in the path, the bare Referer), so a member of any existing ring joins with no change; verification the IndieWeb way (mark inactive, never delete); an OPML twin of every ring; no script, no tracking, no central registry. Name: OpenRing is Drew DeVault's tool in this exact niche and every openring domain is taken; OpenWebring has only a dead 2020 predecessor and free domains. Registered in the catalogs family. First host: rssamplifier.com/ring (one ring per topic), in flight. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XYae2mH3khdwiXUVzcVMDw Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

<h2>OpenWebring</h2>

<p>
|

A webring that says who made it. One file a ring serves about its members, one a member

Webrings came back, hundreds of them, and every one reinvents the same three things: a
|
||||
member list kept by hand in its own shape, a next and a previous link, and a check by eye
|
||||
that the member still links back. Meanwhile the one thing a reader in 2026 wants to know
|
||||
about a site, whether a person wrote it, has nowhere to be said that a ring can filter on.
|
||||
A ring for the human web and a ring for the machine web are the same ring with one field.
