CLUSTER WIKIPEDIA-ARTICLES-WEB · 19 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-05-21

Wikipedia casual reading apps

This cluster consists of web and mobile apps that repackage Wikipedia articles for casual, short-form, or time-constrained reading, including daily featured articles, random article feeds, swipeable vertical formats, and printer-friendly conversions. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as only one member has a source date before the index start and eight members are undated. Traction leaders by activity signal are WikWok, WikTok, and Wikipedia Daily Article Viewer, all with zero stars.

ENTRY TIMELINE

JUN 2017: 1FEB 2020: 1MAY 2025: 1AUG 2026: 9SEP 2026: 5OCT 2026: 2
JUN 2017OCT 2026

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
