wikitok

Tiktok for Wikipedia. Ripoff from wikitok.net, inspired by arxivtok.

Incentive

Why create the same thing that already exist? It gives me all the control I want as I have a lot of ideas that can make this into something that I would use daily as a medium to explore and learn new stuffs from Wikipedia itself. Let me link to Wheel Reinventor's Principles.

Roadmap

• PWA
• Google Analytics
• Mobile responsive
• Social sharing
• Change layout dynamically
• Simple tests
• Performance improvement (Scrolling animation janky, unnecessary calls to fetch new page)
• Lighthouse test

Running on Docker

Build the application into an image.

docker build . -t wikitok

Instantiate the image into a container and running it in the background.

docker run --name=wikitok -p 5000:80 -d wikitok

Acknowledgements

Special thanks to the respective authors of wikitok and arxivtok for the inspiration, and more importantly the Wikipedia foundation, for providing such an easy-to-use API endpoint to retrieve random pages from Wikipedia.
