This is great! I was just thinking about StumbleUpon the other day and wishing it were still a thing. I have a whole folder full of awesome bookmarks (half of which are dead now) I found using StumbleUpon.

Just like the original StumbleUpon, within a few clicks, I discovered several fascinating sites. Thanks for posting this, it is a real treasure.

Thank you. I think it is really hard nowadays to find small independent websites. Just a couple days ago I remember reading a hackernews comment from a person saying that most of their web traffic started from just a few places (hackernews, reddit, twitter, etc) - and that really resonated with me. I hope that something like stumblingon (or a better solution) can help people find unique and interesting content.
