In the maker’s words

After seeing Karpathy's Hackertube and Hackerbooks, I just had to make Wikihack. I scraped all mentions of wikipedia on hackernews and ranked them, and turn them into a scrollable feed to make it a bit more easy to digest / interact with. You can see where people submitted the articles and where people mentioned it in comments. The top shows the most frequently linked articles. Random is random but slightly weighted towards the more frequently linked articles (a little bit like Wikipedia actually). Rising is ranked towards the past 12 months. The entire site is served only through the frontend -- I'll add more features if people enjoy this!
aizk, launching on Hacker News
