Neocities.org
Oops! My deploy to neocities on github broke because I added a .htaccess file to my main site (ironically to make the URLs match with NeoCities) Guess I'll be updating manually here from now on until I can get the spoons to make two directories. Or possibly this could be an opportunity to do something cute with a landing page?

Sad that Cohost is shutting down soon. I made friends there. I have a new blog/atom feed courtesy of bearblog now. https://mooeena.bearblog.dev/blog/

I've seen some people speculate about Special Sauce. Here's what the source code says.

In short: Each site is assigned a score from 0-100. "Special Sauce" lists sites by descending score. Followers, views, likes, profile comments, and being featured all factor into the initial score. In addition, penalties are applied for brand new sites, being blocked a lot, and extremely high API calls. Finally, scores decrease over time since the last site update.

As a new user who joined after this roll out it feels a little weird to see this grading system when I came here to just browse and organically find fun sites.

well, the idea is to have a more holistic front page than just most followers or most views. but you can always set it to random to get true variety! try not to worry about page rankings so much. it's healthier that way.

The new "special sauce" formula is interesting. I wonder how tedious it would be to calculate it manually? https://github.com/neocities/neocities/commit/2ef0d2101c1a78df853ae1b1a32be5c7710acf0e
