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

The idea is simple: Winder uses your browser to fetch and display random pages from the world’s largest encyclopedia — Wikipedia — 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 — in other words, which pages tend to spark genuine curiosity and interest.

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’ve probably never come across before — and to share what they think about them!

On the technical side, the front-end is built with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, using JSON to pull information from Wikipedia’s API. The back-end, responsible for storing user preferences, is developed in Python using the Django framework.
