The WikiReads web application was built for the curious at heart. I've always looooved reading random facts so this project was a pleasire to build. The WikiReads app generates random articles at the click of a button.
Once the article is generated, you have access to the article link which you can visit and read at your leisure.
The project was built using the Flask micro framework and Python libraries such as wikipedia nad wikipedia-API. All dependencies are listed in the 'requirements.txt' file.
