FAQ
A few quiet answers.
What is Webernaut?
+
Webernaut is a human-curated guide to interesting websites and web experiences. It brings together playful experiments, strange corners, quiet escapes, useful tools, and ideas worth spending some time with.
What is a Discovery?
+
A Discovery is a website or web experience selected for Webernaut. Each one has its own Webernaut page with a short description and editorial context, plus links to related people or organizations when those are available. From there, Visit takes you to the original site.
What is Browse?
+
Browse is the structured way to explore Webernaut. You can browse by Category, see everything in Browse All, or start with one of Webernaut’s focused Curated Picks.
What is Wander?
+
Wander lets Webernaut choose for you. Pick a category and you’ll be sent to a Discovery, with another ready when you return.
What is Trail?
+
Trail keeps track of the Discoveries you’ve visited so you can find your way back to them. You can remove individual entries or clear the Trail whenever you like.
What are Favorites?
+
Favorites let you keep Discoveries you especially want to remember. Favorited items stay when you clear the rest of your Trail.
Where are Trail and Favorites stored?
+
Trail and Favorites are saved in your browser on the device you’re using. They do not sync between devices and may disappear if you clear your browser data.
Do I need an account?
+
No. Webernaut does not currently require or offer visitor accounts.
What does Webernaut track?
+
Webernaut uses limited analytics to understand how the site is being used. It does not use that information to build personalized feeds or advertising profiles.
How does privacy work?
+
Webernaut is designed to ask as little from you as possible. No account is required, Trail and Favorites stay in your browser, and Webernaut does not build an advertising profile around you. Websites you visit through Webernaut have their own privacy practices.
Can I share a Discovery or Browse page?
+
Yes. Discovery pages have a Share button, and Browse pages have stable URLs you can copy or share normally.
What happens when I click Visit?
+
Visit opens the original website in a new tab and adds the Discovery to your Trail. From there, you’re visiting an independent website rather than Webernaut.
How are websites selected?
+
Every Discovery is chosen by a person. Webernaut looks for websites that are memorable, distinctive, rewarding to visit, and a good fit for the collection. There are no paid placements, and the goal is a thoughtful selection rather than an exhaustive directory.
