      It's an interesting idea. Could be a way to catch interest and education.

        I have fdroid and it tells me the link is broken. Maybe it's a repo I don't have

        Me too. It says "app not found". I can't find it either if I search directly into F-Droid.

        By the way, I've enabled all anti-features.

            I fixed it by enabling the setting to show apps not compatible with my device

              Wow this is neat! It's making Wikipedia more engaging, something I could actually read more regularly.

                  This is a new app. You need to manually force a refresh of the fdroid repo by pulling to refresh.

                    Bruh I think f-droid is deluded sometimes, like what do they want 💀

                    I guess being able to connect to any Wikimedia site sounds like a nice feature, but I wouldn't call that an "anti-feature".

                      I mean there's not too many other ways you could make a scrolling Wikipedia feed and it all sounds terrible. Wikipedia is at its best when feeding a rabbit hole via nested links to the concepts that underlie what you are already learning about.

                      This person is probably trying to build a portfolio of applications they can say they've made so they can get a job doing something useful. Smashing a new ui on old info is a relatively brainless way to do that, and doesn't require much critical thought.

                      While @[email protected] called it algotrash, a system that curates would be better than a random feed.

                      I.E. asks for interests up front, then tailor as you read.
