Painless Wikipedia with Panes

When exploring a new topic on Wikipedia I often just click around and end up with tons of unorganized tabs. To ease these deep dives, I took inspiration from Andy Matuschak’s Evergreen Notes and built a Wikipedia client to help me shuffle through a ton of pages more easily.

I built the proof of concept with React. Then I rebuilt it with Solid, to take its amazing primitives out for a spin.

Try it out: Wikipane

I’ll clean up the code and add a link to the repo soon™.

The current version uses the Wikipedia HTML API, but it’s just a matter of time before I rebuild it again with Wikitext for more control.
