A little shell function I have in my ~/.zshrc:

  pages() { for _ in {1..5}; do curl -sSw '%header{location}\n' https://indieblog.page/random | sed 's/.utm.*//'; done }

Here is an example output:

  $ pages
  https://alanpearce.eu/post/scriptura/
  https://jmablog.com/post/numberones/
  https://www.closingtags.com/blog/home-networking
  https://www.unsungnovelty.org/gallery/layers/
  https://thoughts.uncountable.uk/now/

On macOS, we can also automatically open the random pages in the default web browser with:

  $ open $(pages)

Another nice place to discover independently maintained personal websites is: https://kagi.com/smallweb

This is so lovely. Just adopted it for arch. And set it up, so that I can just type `indy n` (with "n" being any number) and it opens n pages in my browser.

Thanks for sharing.

Caveat that Kagi gates that repo such that it doesn't allow self-submissions so you're only going to see a chunk of websites that other people have submitted that also know about the Kagi repo.

		But per the instructions, it seems like that if one wants to add your own website, then one needs to add 2 other small websites (that are not on the list already)...so technically it does open things up to those who are not aware of the repo...assuming their site is pulled in when someone wants to add their own website. Obviously this scale is slow...but i think that's kinda the point, eh? Nevertheless, for every 1 person wanting to add their stuff, 2 others would technically get added i guess.

That's a lovely bit of automation.
