Bruh I think f-droid is deluded sometimes, like what do they want 💀
I guess being able to connect to any Wikimedia site sounds like a nice feature, but I wouldn’t call that an “anti-feature”.
…but why
Some people have an addiction to scrolling, thanks to skinner boxes being implemented in all the major social media sites and online marketplaces.
This app manages to fill the niche of a skinner box, with educational content rather than algotrash. This allows people to reclaim their scrolling sessions and reconditoon away from the endless dopamine dripfeed into a more healthy relationship with social media and the internet at large.
Wow this is neat! It’s making Wikipedia more engaging, something I could actually read more regularly.
Link seems broken
This is a new app. You need to manually force a refresh of the fdroid repo by pulling to refresh.
The link is for F-Droid. It’s not broken.
I have fdroid and it tells me the link is broken. Maybe it’s a repo I don’t have
Me too. It says “app not found”. I can’t find it either if I search directly into F-Droid.
By the way, I’ve enabled all anti-features.
This is the main F-Droid repo.
Sounds bad.
Just tried it, looks like a feed of random wikipedia articles. The first article that came up was about some french village, not exactly engaging to be honest.
I mean there’s not too many other ways you could make a scrolling Wikipedia feed and it all sounds terrible. Wikipedia is at its best when feeding a rabbit hole via nested links to the concepts that underlie what you are already learning about.
This person is probably trying to build a portfolio of applications they can say they’ve made so they can get a job doing something useful. Smashing a new ui on old info is a relatively brainless way to do that, and doesn’t require much critical thought.
While @ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com called it algotrash, a system that curates would be better than a random feed.
I.E. asks for interests up front, then tailor as you read.
