Wander Console 0.5.0

Wander Console 0.5.0 is the fourth 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/.

The big feature in this release is a built-in console crawler. To try the console crawler, go to susam.net/wander/ > Console > Crawl. You should see an output like the following:

The console crawler traverses the Wander network from the base console to find other consoles directly or indirectly reachable from it.

If you have set up a Wander Console instance for yourself on your website, I recommend upgrading to the latest version to use this feature. It is fun to find out just how many Wander consoles belong to your neighbourhood. To upgrade, you only need to download the Wander Console bundle mentioned here and replace your existing Wander index.html with the new one.

If you own a personal website but have not set up a Wander Console yet, I suggest that you consider setting one up for yourself. You can see what it looks like by visiting mine at /wander/. To set up your own, follow these instructions: Install. It just involves copying two files to your web server. It is about as simple as it gets.
