Simon has made his version of Daniel Shiffman’s Wikipedia Crawler, graphing the relatedness between Wikipedia articles.

How it Works

Enter a query (e. g. apple) and either hit Enter or press the button “Query the API”. If an article called “Apple” exists, a circle will pop up with th word “Apple” in it. If an article called “Apple” doesn’t exist, a circle with something alse will pop up. Click the circle (or article) to reveal its related articles. As you might expect, you can click any of those articles to reveal its related articles.

Inspiration

The inspiration comes from Daniel Shiffman and its Coding Train. Link to Daniel’s version here.
