Every day random sites

After seeing makeworld's graph of the statistics of the domains and pages from GUS, I had a thought of a way to explore it, but not too much at once.

I thought it would be cool to create a way to explore of the frontier of geminispace. So I made a page that every day picks 3 random hosts in gemini. This would help me expose myself to the various sites and capsules that people have dreamed up so far.

It can be accessed here:

gemini://tilde.team/~sumpygump/explore/

The domains it randomly selects picks each day from are from the GUS known hosts list.

We'll see how this goes, maybe I'll learn something by randomly jettisonning myself from the comfort of my own capsule and checking out other places in geminispace.

Maybe it would be better to stick to reading updates at CAPCOM or Spacewalk, but I just feel like I am missing out! And the number of hosts now is not too big (yet), but still has a lot of room for exploring.
