- Submit a Pull Request with the location of the webring icon on your site. Pull requests with blank descriptions will be rejected.

Only the url, contact, and langs keys are required to join the webring. Below you can find a list of all the available keys for the various areas of the webring.
{
/* REQUIRED */

langs: <array of represented languages (iso codes) ex. ['en', 'fr']>,

}Single page websites, websites acting only as portals to other social platforms, or websites with violent, racist, sexist or speciesist content will be rejected.
The aim of the webring is to display hand-crafted personal websites showcasing the creator's audio, visual or written work. Your business site is probably not the best fit for the webring, and will be rejected.
If it's seen that your website is in violation to any of these rules your site will be removed from the webring. If you fix the issues, feel free to submit another PR to join back in.
Instead of linking to the directory, you can also link to the next link in the ring by adding parts of your site or domain in the hash of the request url:
<a href='https://webring.xxiivv.com/#wiki.xxiivv' target='_blank' rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src='https://webring.xxiivv.com/icon.black.svg'/></a>
The Hallway is a decentralized forum using twtxt feeds.
To join, create a .txt file on your site, add its URL to your webring entry as feed, and fill in your desired name in the author key. The content of the file should be a dateISO string, a tab(or 3 spaces) and a message:
2016-02-04T13:30:00+01:00 You can really go crazy here! ┐(ﾟ∀ﾟ)┌
2016-02-03T23:05:00+01:00 @<example http://example.org/twtxt.txt> welcome to twtxt!
2016-02-01T11:00:00+01:00 This is just another example.
2015-12-12T12:00:00+01:00 Fiat lux!
You don't need to allow all origins nor allow any other methods rather than GET, doing so can harm the security of your website, please read about Cross-Origin Resource Sharing if you intend to do anything more complicated.
The Wiki is a decentralized encyclopedia using ndtl feeds.
To join, create a .ndtl file on your site, and add its URL to your webring entry using the wiki key.
If you'd prefer to interact with the webring through your terminal, you can clone or install the webring-cli.
This repository does not contain mature API capabilities, but there are a couple ways to request a list of sites and other information currently in the webring.
- Request sites.js on xxiivv or sites.js on github and parse it. An example can be seen here.
The ring is managed by @neauoire, but any member of the network is also welcome to join this repository as a collaborator to help manage new links and Pull Requests. Read more about the webring here.
