Wikihack aggregates Wikipedia links from Hacker News
A new project called Wikihack ranks and displays Wikipedia articles frequently mentioned on Hacker News.
A user launched Wikihack, a project described as HackerTube but for Wikipedia articles mentioned on Hacker News. The creator developed the site after seeing Karpathy's Hackertube and Hackerbooks. Wikihack scraped all mentions of Wikipedia on Hacker News and ranked them. The project turns this data into a scrollable feed to make it easier to digest and interact with. The site shows where people submitted the articles and where they mentioned them in comments.
The top section of the site displays the most frequently linked articles. A Random feature selects articles randomly but is slightly weighted towards more frequently linked ones. A Rising feature ranks articles towards the past 12 months. The entire site is served only through the frontend. The creator plans to add more features if people enjoy the project. The submission received 31 points on Hacker News and has 4 comments.
