OP is asking you to “comment here about whatever you're passionate about at the moment, however niche it might be.”

Are you passionate about pedantry? If so, you might be in the right place.

This post was nice to see. In addition to other things, I’m thinking about how to make simple tools/apps that bring back the sense of wonder we felt in earlier times on the internet. I made a little app (really just a function that i have mapped to a keyboard shortcut) that redirects you to a random website sourced from a handful of interesting are.na channels as well as from HN. It has brought me joy both making it and using it. The app is called moonjump and also has a minimal UI:

I like the webring implementation on your personal site. I wish academic researchers did this, that'll make knowing people in different fields so much easier and fun.


> Are you passionate about pedantry?

Yes I am and I am glad you noticed! I also like helping people follow the site guidelines; posts generally fare better when they do.

Sometimes people call me a stick in the mud. Which is fine. Without the stick, the mud might fly off. You don't want mud flying around, do you?


Salute. But we can haz a little cuteness here


awesome project! exactly what gets my interest these days ... how to find those wonderful gems from the depths of the net instead of the SEO optimized and often commercial shit the big search engines are feeding us.
