I wrote this project by hand in Sublime Text, which is more of a text editor than an IDE. I don't use ai, even for autocomplete. All of the code is unminified/unobfuscated in the index.html file, you can right click the page and view-source it.

I do the same as you, except in vim. But increasingly I'm getting the nagging feeling that I'm wasting my time.

This app IS made in under 1mb. The entire app, including all the assets minus all the actual Wikipedia data, is 21kB (no minification or compression). And all of it is in a single html file with human-readable code.
Interesting. I haven't investigated, so I don't know where the 40mb comes from.

#107This is a very neat idea. I am not sure why the page needs to load 40mb of data and make me wait 5 mins before the first view. I'd probably also add some ranking criteria to surface good quality articles that maximize the "I learnt something new today" factor. Overall kudos to the developer for original thinking.

#108TIL: The United States Virgin Islands are a group of islands in the Caribbean Sea. They are currently owned and under the authority of the United States Government. They used to be owned by Denmark (and called Danish West Indies). They were sold to the U.S. on January 17, 1917, because of fear that the Germans would capture them and use them as a submarine base in World War I. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/United…

#109Update, it does not run properly in Firefox on iOS. After it has loaded to 100%, the site refreshes.
