There is no phone app! There's a progressive web app you can download. Funnily, I thought I solved the mobile issue making the PWA until I realized 99% of people have no idea what a progressive web app is.

The point of that phrase was just to highlight the derivatives the I had no affiliation with. I built it and marketed it, but the idea came from some tweets that were gaining momentum.

Thanks for the feedback I'll push a fix for that tomorrow.

This is amazing and I think deserves a thread of its own.

I think tomorrow I'm going to write a detailed blog of exactly what I did building out WikiTok. One last little bit of info on this subject (and at the end of it I'll say that I'm open to work or whatever).

Oh that explains why it's not a popular architecture.

Thank you! I've built a lot of apps, and I've gone viral a fair number of times, but I haven't done both at the same time. I can pinpoint to you the exact tweet (well it's technically a retweet) and you can see what gav

Hi there! Thank you for the kind words. The URL bug has been fixed - I was querying the wrong urls. You can find me at aizk.sh - I'd be happy to talk more about a domain, I think that's the last piece of this puzzle :)

Hi there. I have had some somewhat nsfw content pop up but nothing quite that extreme. If there isn't a clearcut way to solve this via the api, I'll talk to Wikimedia about this, as I actually have a chat with them soon! Thanks fo

Not that I'm aware of, it just queries Wikipedia's random api. But unless there's something going on behind the scenes that I don't know about then maybe?

No way, StumbleUpon? I remember that site when I was a kid. Good memories.

Oh I just looked, sadly tv tropes doesn't have an API. I'd love to work off their data but that would be a bit more involved.

Probably? I have no frame of reference, I've never done giant distributed systems before. I just noticed that earlier version had some slowdowns but I think I was just improperly fetching the images ahead of time.

I added a dark wikipedia logo as the favicon, which should be good for now.

Do you have any examples of that I can look at as a reference? I'm used to github actions just being my CI/CD build step checking tool.

Oh wow maybe I should think about that

I would not be surprised if Claude + Openai's reasoning models could develop a simple rudimentary algorithm that would work. Of course it wouldn't be as sophisticated as something like TikTok and would require a lot of fine tuning
