A developer turned Wikipedia into a social media-style feed
Lyra Rebane's Xikipedia is perhaps a healthier alternative to doomscrolling.
Developer Lyra Rebane has created Xikipedia, a social media-style feed of Wikipedia entries, aiming to provide a healthier alternative to doomscrolling. This web app algorithmically displays information from Simple Wikipedia, suggesting similar content based on user engagement without collecting or sharing data. Users can like posts, which are summaries of Simple Wikipedia entries, and explore full articles. While it offers a vast array of posts from over 278,000 articles, it may not be as up-to-date as the main Wikipedia and could include NSFW material.
