- Oh, nice execution. I had the same idea during the pandemic. Though my aesthetics are completely different as I focused more on the discussions on HN, as they often have some golden nuggets. Yours is of course way more polished, as I basically just slapped bootstrap on my database front end.

Interesting how different our "popularity score" is though:
https://www.mostdiscussed.com/popular
You don't seem to group them by category, right? I found it quite interesting:
https://www.mostdiscussed.com/popular/topics
Btw, your "new" tab seems to be broken, as it is showing articles from 2019.
- Cool! I’ve been using this bookmark for years:

Wikipedia articles _and YT videos_.
Amazing result, very precious, just skimming in it for a few minutes was immensely enriching.
- Nicely done! Would be interesting to sort by upvotes and/or comment count as well.
- I didn't know about this, thanks for sharing.
- Other modes worth trying: "Mailing Lists", "Research Papers"
- This is an amazing interface for Wikipedia; at least for those of us who have their brains fried by "verticals"
- Looks great, especially on mobile, congrats!
- nice! kind of similar but re-made a scrollable wikipedia a few weeks ago: https://quack.sdan.io/
- 5 stars, delved

- Someone at WIkipedia currently abuses visitors via nag-spam-harass pop-ups. Now, ublock origin hero-blocked this, but I feel that this is an abuse. I already had a similar "discussion" with Nate abusing KDE users via his donation-daemon but he keeps on wanting more and more money (https://web.archive.org/web/20250914213714/https://jriddell....; the original website entry was removed some months ago, for reasons unknown to me).
I feel that this is blatant abuse of people. The argument is NOT about as to whether donations should be acceptable or not, that is another discussion; the argument is that pester pop ups are an abuse of visitors. Same with pester daemons running in the background asking for money or possibly gathering user information in the future (age sniffing daemons).

- Wikepedia, the most untrustworthy source ever, cases and cases of people who gained access to the article and completely changed it with fake information:
1. Assassin's Creed video game: A guy changed Japanese history by introducing a black samurai. The whole dramas was so bad that Janapense officials got involved, and one of the reasons Ubisoft Studio which was already broke due to DEI, went even more bankrupt.
2. A lawyer changed specific laws on Wikipedia and waited, as expected, judges were caught using the "fabricated law" against real cases with real consequences.
I could go on and on, but hey, you do you :)
