Nicely done! Would be interesting to sort by upvotes and/or comment count as well.

Cool! I’ve been using this bookmark for years: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=wikipedia.org

Wikepedia, the most untrustworthy source ever, cases and cases of people who gained access to the article and completely changed it with fake information: 1. Assassin's Creed video game: A guy changed Japanese history by introducing a black samurai. The whole dramas was so bad that Janapense officials got involved, and one of the reasons Ubisoft Studio which was already broke due to DEI, went even more bankrupt. 2. A lawyer changed specific laws on Wikipedia and waited, as expected, judges were caught using the "fabricated law" against real cases with real consequences. I could go on and on, but hey, you do you :)

Oh, nice execution. I had the same idea during the pandemic. Though my aesthetics are completely different as I focused more on the discussions on HN, as they often have some golden nuggets. Yours is of course way more polished, as I basically just slapped bootstrap on my database front end. https://www.mostdiscussed.com/ Interesting how different our "popularity score" is though: https://www.mostdiscussed.com/popular You don't seem to group them by category, right? I found it quite interesting: https://www.mostdiscussed.com/popular/topics Btw, your "new" tab seems to be broken, as it is showing articles from 2019.

This is an amazing interface for Wikipedia; at least for those of us who have their brains fried by "verticals"
