i tried to join some webrings that were powered by JS, but i ended up deciding against it because a lot of the time, they were poorly written scripts, and would error out if it couldn't find the element on the page instead of silently failing, so they didn't necessarily work that well for a universally-rendered site like this. i could just include the script on the specific page i need it, but the way the markup is structured on this site doesn't really lend itself well to one-off scripts on a specific page, and ultimately isn't worth the effort.

also, it seems like a genuinely worse experience to have an <a /> tag that has no hyperlink until some JS has been executed. I think having some backend to support a webring should be a must for anybody looking to create one. I was hoping to join the https://forum.agoraroad.com webring (https://voicedrew.xyz/wr/), but until they have a server-side implementation, i probably won't
