   WikTok – A Recommendation UI for Wikipedia▲73

   Hi HN, WikTok is a UI for Wikipedia that lets you quickly swipe (or use your arrow keys) to navigate between random and recommended articles (based on the previous articles you interacted most with). It's just a fun project I hacked together this weekend, so may be a little rough around the edges, but I'd love to get your thoughts. Let me know if you have any suggestions (or find any interesting articles!) Cheers,
