Actually, interestingly, I've been introducing this concept as a "party game" with other nerds at RL gatherings for some years now. The goal is to start on a random page and find the shortest path to another random page by only clicking links in the articles. It can be quite a lot of fun, despite what you're thinking! And anybody can understand the challenge and compete and have fun. It's not just something for geeks…
Cool poject and very compact! Just quck question, I have found that in Initial setup docs: > Do not use Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) due to degraded performance. Could you elaborate or give some reference about that issue please? Thanks.

Creator here. Six Degrees of Wikipedia is a side project I've been sporadically hacking on over the past few years. It was an interesting technical challenge and it's fun to play with the end result. Here's the tech stack: * Frontend: React (Create React App) * Backend: Python Flask * Database: SQLite * Web (frontend) hosting: Firebase Hosting * Server (backend) hosting: Google Compute Engine (it runs fine on a tiny…
Apparently an idiot here. What is the difference between web hosting and server hosting? The way my mind interprets that stack is the database is hosted on firebase while the page is hosted on the server? Edit: Thank you all for the explanation. I used to think firebase was used as a database. I didn't know one could host front end files there. It seems I still have a long ways to go :)

So, the website files are hosted on Firebase while the backend is hosted on GCE. The database is actually not hosted; it's just a SQLite file stored on my GCE instance.

I think it would be interesting to have a "swap" button between the start and end points, perhaps just under where it says "to". (similar to the swap buttons in translator apps and GPS apps to quickly swap the start and end points) As some other comments have mentioned, the paths are not necessarily the same route or length, and it is fun to see how they might be different.

Is it because of the resources required to run one versus SQLite?
