Niche of One

The Nōō Network

A webring. Independent sites pointing at each other, the way it worked before a handful of companies started deciding who gets seen.

What it is

Each site points at the next. The circle closes.

Every member puts that badge in their footer. A reader hits the arrow and lands on the next site in the ring. No account, no algorithm, no company in the middle taking a cut or deciding they would rather show them something else.

Same five sites. One of these arrangements has a landlord.

We do not care whether you used AI to make your work. A machine did not decide your piece was finished. You did. What gets you turned down is a site with nobody home behind it, and that is easy to spot.

The longer version is here.

Take a seat

Free, permanently. No tier, no upgrade, nothing to buy later. You get a listing here with a link search engines follow, and readers arriving from the sites on either side of you.

It lives in your footer, under everything else. That is the whole install.

Pick a badge below, swap YOUR-SITE.com for your own address, and drop it in your footer. That is the application. Nothing to fill in, nobody to wait on.

The badge is what enrols you. We come and look at your homepage, and if it is linking back to the ring under your own name, you are in and your listing goes up with it. Take the badge down and you come out again, no email either way. Membership is the badge being there, which means you are never in a ring you forgot you joined.

Check it went up

Optional. Clicking your own badge already tells us you are there, and so does the box below. Use whichever you like, or neither, and we will find you within a day.

Badges

All of these are plain HTML with inline styles. Nothing loads from us, nothing runs, and none of it breaks if this site disappears. Pick whichever one disappears into your design.

Sizeone number, everything scales from it.

Everything above is sized in em, so a badge follows whatever font size it sits in. To pin it yourself, add font-size:14px to the <nav>. Those three are 12, 14 and 19.

Or write it yourself from the bones:

<nav>
  <a href="https://nicheof.one/noo/prev?site=YOUR-SITE.com">←</a>
  <a href="https://nicheof.one/noo/">⊙</a>
  <a href="https://nicheof.one/noo/next?site=YOUR-SITE.com">→</a>
</nav>

Plain HTML. No script, no tracker, nothing that phones home. Leave whenever you want and nothing of yours breaks.
