I built a PWA that feeds you random, high-engagement Wikipedia topics (like the Great Emu War or the Demon Core) in a swipeable deck. Swipe right to save, swipe up to read "trivia snacks" instead of the full article. The idea was to have an antidote to doom scrolling.
The project started at a "vibe-coding-hackathon" and is now starting to become my main side project.
That's really fun. I like the quick snippet, but would like a 2nd tier of interesting facts about the thing instead of just the quick ironic bits (after looking at 'Inventors Killed by Their Inventions').
Would like to be able to skip items/stories without having to x or heart. Feels like a left or right swipe on the main cards should go to other topics. It doesnt feel right 'voting' on them without having read them.

Curious for feedback :)
