nice post

making a page that offers tools to find random content on specific sites seems like a fun idea, maybe as a starting point for an even larger project

Graphically it should suggest the experience of wandering the stacks of a large library. Have you been in the stacks of a big University or city library? Narrow, ill-lit aisles, books shelved on both sides, from the floor to well above your head. Oooh! Oooh! you could model it after Terry Pratchett's Unseen University Library[1].

Reddit, Hacker News, and Lobsters seem like obvious places to start.

Also randomization of existing long-lived blogs.
