Wander 0.3.0

By Susam Pal on 25 Mar 2026

Wander 0.3.0 is the third release of Wander, a small, decentralised, self-hosted web console that lets visitors to your website explore interesting websites and pages recommended by a community of independent website owners. To try it, go to susam.net/wander/.

This release brings small but important bug fixes. The previous release, version 0.2.0 introduced a number of new features. Unfortunately, two of them caused issues for some users. A new feature in the previous release was the ignore list feature. The ignore list defines console URLs and page URLs that the console never uses while discovering page recommendations. While this feature works fine, due to a bug in the implementation, the Console dialog fails to load in consoles that do not define any ignore list. This has now been fixed.

There was another issue due to which the <iframe> that displays discovered websites and pages could not load certain websites. In particular, any website that relied on same-origin context to load its own resources failed to load in the console. This has been fixed as well. Please see codeberg.org/susam/wander/issues/7 for a detailed discussion on this issue.

Apart from these two important fixes, there are a few other minor fixes too pertaining to preventing horizontal scrolling in small devices and preventing duplicate recommendations from appearing too close to each other. Please see CHANGES.md for a detailed changelog.
