The Forest
The Forest sends visitors on a random path to websites, encouraging discovery without a map or feed.
About The Forest
The Forest is a website that sends visitors on a random path to other websites. Each step is started with one button, and the site uses no map, feed, or algorithm to choose destinations. The homepage describes the aim as helping people find unusual sites and lose track of time browsing, in contrast to a web that feels predictable. The homepage also includes a "Plant your tree" option, which invites visitors to plant a tree to help grow the forest. The page says the tree may or may not sprout and confirms that the tree was received. It does not explain further what happens after planting. Pricing is unknown.
