WikiTok works through mobile and desktop browsers, and users scroll through a random list of Wikipedia articles picked from the Wikipedia API. An image from the corresponding article represents each of these article entries. If you bump into a topic that you find interesting, you can simply tap “Read More” to open the full Wikipedia page in your browser.
The feed is truly random, and its creator, Issac Gemal, is currently opposed to turning it into an automatic stream of articles that shows users personalized topics based on their tracked interests.
In an interview with Ars Technica, Gemal revealed that he had plenty of people message reaching out to him on GitHub asking for some “insane crazy WikiTok algorithm.”
