I was originally inspired to make this by a tweet (https://x.com/tylerangert/status/1886560290864533983). Since then a few others have made variations of this app, including here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42936723
My version has a new feature which I was curious to see would lead to more interesting browsing: category scroll. Swipe left (mobile) or click the right arrow (desktop) to scroll related articles to the current one.
I also aimed to see if AI-assisted coding would make it easier to write a functional app without the use of frameworks, so this is a pure javascript static site. If people like this format, I'm hoping to implement some account/recommendation features to load articles based on what your browsing habits suggest you find interesting

I hope all the open sources Deepseek is doing encourages American labs to do more of the same. Surely they'll realize their momentum is more of a moat than their tech at any one point in time.

Standard UK culture. You can be arrested for social media posts.
Server fees aren't an issue with this deployment as it's just a small static app, though if this were to be big it would be a load on the mediawiki API, so if there's more interest than this as a hobbyist side project I should serve some of my own and cache (as I'm loading a lot of images in parallel)
I looked up your pingtype project, it looks like it's for translating English <=> Chinese. Would that be for translating articles? For that I imagine I should add the feature for viewing Wikipedia in different languages.
