Would be cool if the official Wikipedia mobile app integrated this functionality! It does have a ‘random articles’ card, but it’s nothing like this.
Not sure ‘addiction’ is being defeated here, though 😆 Like if I’m addicted to sausages, giving me bacon instead isn’t really solving the root of the issue. The issue being those sexy, sexy pigs.
Does it fight algorithm addiction or does it just utilise existing algorithm addiction to give you something slightly more informative?
Just found this article that for some reason has me dying of laughter: ICBM address
I see the dev don’t want recommendation algorithm. All good to avoid the recommendation bubble, but a category/tags might be nice instead of random everything.
This is awesome. :3
As someone who loved the random article feature and will sometimes peruse Wikipedia at random, this is extremely fascinating to me.
I too find this such a nice refreshing take on wikipedia. It’s only been a few days, hope the developer improves it further. I realize some kind of recommendation algorithm opens a pandora’s box, but one can dream
One big thing i hope they add is sorting by topic, so i can have a biology feed, a physics feed…
I’ve downloaded the app and left a five star rating. The app works great! Please show support to this developer ❤️
I just installed it and was immediately annoyed by the auto-scrolling feature being turned on by default. Is that really how TikTok works? How does anyone put up with this shit?
Not sure but i support them for trying. Maybe leave a review and ask the dev to change it.
What app? Isnt just browser bsed?
It’s app based. I found it on Google Play.
I recall people in the past spending their day reading random Wikipedia trivia. Overal the knowledge is rather useless.
Useless? Knowledge for its own sake is worth pursuing.
Is it though?
Depends on what you’re into, what you do, etc… Could be the difference between winning Final Jeopardy and not. Or being able to identify Alessandro Gazzi by name in a police lineup, for example.
I mean you can just swipe if it’s not your jam. I think this is a great idea.
Because Tiktok is so much better.
I’m imagining one of those that feeds you random tvtropes instead
Just got the app it’s absolutely fantastic.
…so… content filters when? Let me limit it to certain subjects and I don’t need social media anymore 😂
Having a real grand time adding a song from any musician I hit to a play list. I fucking love Awaz now.
Sadly the design is pretty bad on desktop monitors.
I don’t get it, it’s pretty lame. Just a list of articles. This would need some kind of flow. Maybe one that is continued depending on what topic one reads. Something. I think, I’ll try to make this …
