Everything runs client-side with no server-side components needed. Each console defines its own list of recommended pages and links to other consoles, forming a peer-to-peer browsing network similar in spirit to webrings or StumbleUpon but without any central authority. The project was motivated by limitations of Kagi Small Web and was built in a couple of hours, released under the MIT licence. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
