What is Octo Ring?

A webring is a collection of websites that link to each other in a circle, with each site linking to the next and previous sites in the ring. Octo Ring is the webring for GitHub, which connects profiles using a markdown widget on each member’s profile readme.

Octo Ring lets you surf GitHub to stumble upon cool people and projects, and show off your own profile without using creepy analytics, suggestion algorithms, or search engines. You can add your profile to the Octo Ring by signing in with your GitHub account.
