Show HN: URL Roulette – redesigned site for discovering human-submitted links

https://urlroulette.net/
1•mmathias•33m ago
URL Roulette allows you to submit a link and, in return, you are taken to a random site that someone else posted - no algorithm, no ranking, no AI‐generated content. It has been operating since 2017 and currently contains about 190K human‐submitted links in rotation.

I reconstructed the whole project over the summer and it is now back online. I launched a weekly newsletter named The Vault that recaps unusual discoveries. I developed a bookmarklet named "The Boredom Button" that delivers a random link from any page with a single click.

I would appreciate feedback on this. I am especially keen to hear from anyone who recalls the earlier version.
