WikiTok: Endless scrolling, but for Wikipedia pages

wikitok.vercel.app WikiTok

Now I know about Jenn Ashworth, events from January 1966 and Buck Weaver and so much more.

Note that the official Wikipedia mobile app has functionality like this as well. There's a section with an endless stack of cards containing articles.
- Where can I find that section? I use Wikipedia for Android and don't see something like this.
  
  Scroll down to a "Random article" card and select "More random articles" underneath.
  
  You end up at the Randomizer, which lets you flick through a stack of random articles.
- Yeah, many people don't really install wikipedia apps but it is actually quite good to store and organize reading material.

Added to my phone's desktop. Perfect procrastination material when I'm through with Lemmy.
- Isn't it cool you can be through with Lemmy? What a feature haha.

Good job! This we can use. Thank you!
- Not my site, just to be clear.
  But glad you like it

It needs some categorization filter, or maybe just normalization?
I scrolled for.... Quite a while and it was people, places. Just... People and places.
I assume because that's the bulk of wikipedia content, which is where the normalization comes in.
Cool thing regardless.

Thank you so much!!

Finally; a wikipedia that i can use.

Oh this fucking rules
