    I'm a person that saw this and thought "YES!".

    It's a way to make my mindless scrolling a little bit less mindless. It's not a Wikipedia alternative it's a tiktok alternative (I don't use tiktok, but I understand why people do, my attention span is also shattered). Obviously it's not going to replace looking things up on Wikipedia, and I love exploring links in Wikipedia articles, but you don't know what you don't know so this seems like a good way to learn about things you didn't know you were interested in.

        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".
