The Infinite Tolkien – endless narration of Middle-earth
Inspired by The Infinite Conversation (https://infiniteconversation.com/), I built a site where J.R.R. Tolkien endlessly describes the landscapes of Middle-earth — trees, hills, rivers, ruins, dawns — one scene at a time, forever. If you've read Tolkien, you know the man could spend an entire page describing a single tree. My friends and I always joked about it.

I have been commuting a fair bit between the East and West coast, and thanks to American Airlines' free onboard WiFi, I was able to vibe-code a full interactive map of Middle-earth right from my economy seat at the back of the bus. It's rather amazing how much an LLM knows about Tolkien's work, and it was fun to delve into many of the nooks and crannies of Tolkien's lore.

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
