Browse, submit and rate interesting Wikipedia articles

In plain words

Browse is a tool that lets users discover interesting Wikipedia articles in a Stumble Upon-style format. Instead of Wikipedia's random article feature, which often returns stub pages, Browse curates a database of quality articles that users can browse, submit, and rate. The tool accepts only Wikipedia links and comes pre-seeded with over 100 articles. It's designed for people looking for engaging reading material rather than random low-quality content.

In the maker’s words, at launch

I saw that a lot of interesting Wikipedia articles regularly crop up on HN. So, just made a quick hack which lets you browse such interesting articles in a Stumbleupon fashion. This may be seen as a replacement of Wikipedia's own random article function which usually outputs stubs or other non-interesting links. I…

  WikiBinge – discover how all things are vaguely connected2023 · wikibinge.com · ▲246

  Connect two articles on Wikipedia, but do it the long way. I've always been a fan of the theory of six degree of separation, but it's an overused concept when exploring the Wiki-graph. Instead of showing the shortest path, which in my opinion is "boring" and ends up connecting super-important central articles, I came up with my own method: WikiBinge selects the smaller, less represented articles on Wikipedia. In a WikiBinge path, the underdogs are the kings! How does it work? It's pretty straightforward! Compute PageRank on the Wiki-graph and assign as weight of each edge the PageRank value…

  Now I Get It – Translate scientific papers into interactive webpagesFeb 2026 · nowigetit.us · ▲305

  Understanding scientific articles can be tough, even in your own field. Trying to comprehend articles from others? Good luck. Enter, Now I Get It! I made this app for curious people. Simply upload an article and after a few minutes you'll have an interactive web page showcasing the highlights. Generated pages are stored in the cloud and can be viewed from a gallery. Now I Get It! uses the best LLMs out there, which means the app will improve as AI improves. Free for now - it's capped at 20 articles per day so I don't burn cash. A few things I (and maybe you will) find interesting: * This is…

  Search HN for interesting comment sections2024 · searchhacker.news · ▲60

  I built this tool to help me find interesting discussions on Hacker News. I love reading HN discussions almost more than the articles themselves. However, I found that full text search, although highly performant, is not always good at surfacing interesting discussions on a certain topic -- especially if you don't know what to search for exactly. I built this by scraping the most recent ~6 million posts (that's about 2 years of history) and putting the resulting posts and their vector embeddings into Postgres. Let me know what could be improved, and if you'd like a more detailed writeup of…

  I made a search engine for Hacker News2024 · hackernews.demo.vectara.com · ▲211

  I love HN but always felt the search with algolia is okay but does have some limitations. Since I work at Vectara I decided to try and create a better search for HN. It's based on data from roughly the last 6 months of HN stories and comments. Would love to hear feedback and how useful this is relative to the existing search.

  Wikipedia Browser a La Andy Matuschak's Evergreen Notes2024 · steezeburger.com · ▲117

  I was inspired by Andy Matuschak's Evergreen Notes viewer and created this small web app to browse Wikipedia in the same way. Clicking on a link opens the content in a new pane to the right. And you can resize panes. It's really nice for following rabbit holes or checking out lists from articles. Let me know what you think! Code here: https://github.com/steezeburger/wikipedia-browser

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  our (bootstrapped) Real Time Analytics + Social Media Monitor Startup▲8

  Hi HN, The two of us are working on our real time analytics service Worldlogger for two-an-a-half months now. Today we rolled out a new version. It still has some bugs here and there, but it works :) Worldlogger kind of does what Chartbeat and Getclicky are doing, but we try to mix the best from both worlds ;) Curious what you think about it! http://worldlogger.com/ Cheers E

  the technology and the game I am working on for months▲5

  For impatient reader: http://api.alii.tv/ and http://pprevolution.com/ It is not finished yet (obviously). We are still working on new feature, bug fixes and more browser support. The motion control API for now only works on Firefox/Windows and Firefox/Mac (of course you can copy the bundle to /Library/Internet Plugins/ so that it also works on Google Chrome/Mac). It will initiate another process to do hand detection, don't panic if you see another process called amcex in your activity monitor. What it does? Visit http://api.alii.tv/console.html get some initial feelings. Put you hand in…
