Built a way to spatially explore wikipedia topics!<p>Enter a topic of your choice and dig into the rabbit hole. All content is from Wikipedia—related topics are generated with GPT based on the summary.<p>Spacebar to expand a topic inline, arrow keys to move around, and "J" to open journey view!
Cool idea. I’d suggest a few tweaks to improve text formatting. Justified text generally doesn’t read well on a device. Better to justify left. And paragraph breaks seem to be lost, which makes it harder to read and scan.
I like the concept! I don't like the wall of text. It's hard to concentrate / parse what's in the text box. Keep working on it, it has potential.
Great idea. Your site may have been hugged to death, but if it's supposed to be working now, please check on Safari: viewing a topic shows a blank scrollable rectangle where there should be article text, and not much else.<p>I second another commenter's idea of a minimap: let's visually build the rabbit warren! Just like this:<p><a href="https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Rabbit-warren-with-entrances-1-15-covers-an-area-of-260-m-2-Point-A-indicates-the_fig1_236661270" rel="nofollow">https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Rabbit-warren-with-entra...</a>
This is a cool idea and is fun to explore. It would be cool to be able to revisit a page/topic via the journey view. (Perhaps you can, but I'm unable to on Firefox iOS). I think it's interesting that each time I revisit a topic, I might be given a different set of choices; leading me down a different branch. Thanks for sharing!
I opened this on a mobile device, and it only shows the top and bottom topic buttons. I was pretty confused until I tried turning on "desktop site" in Chrome and saw the left/right buttons.
Having only a linear track of topics kind of undermines the overall idea!
Love this concept but I wish it did not pick topics that were so "distant" from the current topic.<p>Initial topic: Pizza
Recommended nodes: Pizzerias, Italian cuisine, Woodfired Ovens, Neapolitan Pizzas<p>At L1, I'd expect more of the last, such as type of pizza.
So is down "deeper" into the rabbit hole? Or is down more specific and up is more general? Or is it just a related topic (meaning up and down aren't different in any way)?
