Polyring

The webring for content produced by members of ETH Zurich, a university in Switzerland.

Code of Conduct

What's this?

A community of sites around a common topic, also known as a webring. Each member includes a badge on their site that links to the previous and next sites in the ring. It was trendy in the 90s; but now it's retro-and-still-cool!

How to join

To join Polyring, open a pull request and supply the name and URL of your site. If you publish a RSS feed, you can provide that as well.

Wait, what?

If you don't know how to make a pull request, or what GitHub is, that's fine. In that case, send a mail to mail@xyquadrat.ch with your site link and name, and we'll get it set up for you & provide instructions on how to embed the snippet on your site.

Add the banner

Once you've joined the ring, copy this code snippet into your site:

<webring-banner>
    <p>Member of the <a href="https://polyring.ch">Polyring</a> webring</p>
</webring-banner>
<script async src="https://polyring.ch/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

It will render this banner that links to the other members:

Or, if you want to have a dark banner:

<webring-banner theme="dark">
    <p>Member of the <a href="https://polyring.ch">Polyring</a> webring</p>
</webring-banner><script async src="https://polyring.ch/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Which will look like this:

Of course, you can also make your own banner or just statically link to the next / previous people in the ring. This is just a default option that could work well for most people.
