Winder<\/strong>, a name born from the blend of Wikipedia<\/em> and a well-known dating app, is a web-based application designed to help curious minds discover something completely new every day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The idea is simple: Winder uses your browser to fetch and display random pages from the world\u2019s largest encyclopedia \u2014 Wikipedia \u2014 and lets users express their opinion about each discovery. The ultimate goal? To train an algorithm capable of understanding which topics are truly human-relevant<\/em> \u2014 in other words, which pages tend to spark genuine curiosity and interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the app is still under development (it already has an interface but the core algorithm is still in progress), it already allows users to explore random articles they\u2019ve probably never come across before \u2014 and to share what they think about them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the technical side, the front-end<\/strong> is built with JavaScript<\/strong>, HTML<\/strong>, and CSS<\/strong>, using JSON<\/strong> to pull information from Wikipedia\u2019s API. The back-end<\/strong>, responsible for storing user preferences, is developed in Python<\/strong> using the Django<\/strong> framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
