Summary

Xikipedia is a demonstration project that creates a pseudo social media feed algorithmically showing content from Simple Wikipedia. It demonstrates how even a basic non-machine learning algorithm without user data can learn user engagement patterns to suggest similar content. The algorithm runs locally on the user's device with no data leaving the device, and once loaded, the application works fully offline and can be installed as a progressive web app.
