An idea emerges...

"I miss Stumbleupon". That was the Tweet of someone I follow in Twitter. StumbleUpon was one of the big players in the early days of the internet, when Facebook and Twitter were small and unknown. The idea was to "stumble" through a million websites based on your likes, chosen categories and so on. Unfortunately, the site was shut down in 2018.

When reading that tweet, I looked for sites similar to Stumbleupon. But all I found was more of less mediocre. Most had low quality content, or just a few websites, or just worked way different. I was not satisfied. So I decided to build a new version on my own. The site was called "Stumbled" initially.

    Do you have a link to the website? Definitely seems interesting! I'm also curious as to how you're curating people's posts.

      It's now called Cloudhiker.
      I have a review queue and look into each submitted website manually. sure, it takes a lot of time, but so I make sure the quality is not degrading and spam is kept outside.

        Nice! I assume most money is from adsense?

        Quite rare I see such a website on indiehackers. Mostly, it's people selling guides and courses.

          Actually, advertisement is affiliate only. I hate "regular" ads, especially from Google.
          Many thanks!
