Terms of use

For flaneur.sdan.io and its public index. Last updated 2 November 2026.

flâneur is free, and these terms are short. They say what it is, what you can expect from it, and what we ask of you. By using flâneur you agree to them.

What flâneur is

flâneur is a public map of reading: the pages readers saved, the passages they marked, and the paths between them. It is a place to find your next rabbit hole. It has no sign-in, and reading it needs no account.

Many readers on the map started on an earlier public bookmarking service. Their public saves and highlights were brought over from it.

Beside some search results, a language model writes a short card from what readers saved. It can be wrong. The pages it points to are the source.

Other people's pages

Every page on the map belongs to the people who wrote and published it. flâneur shows its title and address, a short excerpt, and the passages readers marked, and links to the original. For some pages we keep a text copy, which flâneur's reader opens. That copy links to the original too.

If a page is yours and you want its copy, excerpt or listing taken down, write to us and we will take it down by hand. It can come back when someone saves it or opens it here again. If it does, tell us and we will take it down again.

What readers published

• Nothing is published here any more. Until 2 November 2026 readers could sign in with Google, save pages and mark passages here. Those saves stay public on their reading profiles.
• Marks and notes made here stay off the public pages unless their reader had turned on Public passages.
• Highlights brought over from the earlier bookmarking service were already public there, so they show on that reader's profile. On a page, they carry the reader's name only if that reader had turned on Public passages. A passage that two or more readers marked can show on its page with no names attached.
• A highlight you withdrew on that service keeps showing here until we remove it. Write to us and we will.
• What readers published stays theirs. flâneur shows it on the site and through the public index and MCP endpoint described below.

Your profile

To have a profile taken off flâneur, write to us. There is no button for it yet, so we do it by hand, and a profile brought over from the earlier service can come back with a later import. If it does, tell us and we will remove it again.

What we ask of you

• Do not try to break flâneur or get around its limits.
• Machines are welcome through the doors built for them: a public index and a read-only MCP endpoint, which /llms.txt describes. They carry the site's public data, without the full text copies.
• The MCP endpoint is rate-limited per address. Bursts of automated requests to the reading pages may be slowed down or refused.

No warranty

flâneur is provided as is, without warranty of any kind, and it may change, break or go away. As far as the law allows, we are not liable for any loss that comes from using it or from the pages it links to.

Changes

These terms may change as flâneur changes. When they do, the date at the top changes with them.
