Description
Indywiki
Indywiki is a cool open-source project that helps you explore Wikipedia in a fun and visual way. Instead of just reading text, you can browse through images while still having all the info at your fingertips. How neat is that?
Visual Browsing with Indywiki
When you search for something, like a city, Indywiki finds images that are closely related to your keyword. You'll see these images lined up nicely on the page. It's like getting a sneak peek into what you're about to read!
Discover Related Links
So, let's say you're looking up Paris. Once all the images pop up related to Paris, Indywiki will also show links to other interesting stuff—like other cities in France, famous people from there, or even cultural facts! The more you click around, the more connections you'll discover.
How Does Indywiki Work?
Indywiki does this by checking out:
- The articles that link to your article
- The articles linked from your article
- The categories that both your article and linked articles belong to
This smart scoring system gives higher scores to links based on where they appear and how many categories they share with your original search. After figuring out which articles are related, it grabs their first image—usually the best one—to show you.
