Hi, Minichan. I've been working on CHAN.CITY, a website where you can easily navigate through all known chans in the WORLD.
Link: https://chan.city/
It needs some polishing and maybe some extra functions, but for now, it works OK.
Give me your opinions!
Have a nice day! UWu
It's a great tool to expand your chan horizons, there are very interesting communities hidden.
chan.city is a friend of MiniChan, Please don't delete this thread.

Thanks for this.
What would make this a lot more useful is if you had some type of statistics so we could sort by posts/day or similar. The scraping code may have to be customized for many of the chans, but many use similar layouts, like minichan and tinychan, so you wouldn't need to write a custom scraper for every single one. It looks like you've already put in some amount of work into this, so relatively speaking I don't think this would be that much more.
When I looked into what you had listed a little while back when you posted it on TC, I found some interesting ones, but I had to go through a lot that were almost dead. Chans are dying all over, so being able to focus what remains of the userbases into the ones still alive I think could help, rather than the situation we have now where there are a couple dozen isolated silos that everyone's slowly bailing on.

Another idea: why not make a wiki? I was thinking it'd be nice to have a quick summary of what each of these are about. But with a lot of these I'm sure there's some long possibly drama-filled history, like there is here, about how or why they were made.
Encyclopediadramatica used to kinda fill this role, but I think the chan community has long since moved on and possibly matured beyond a lot of how the articles are written there. Plus the scope of ED was a lot more broad and not really useful to discover new places.
