Inspiration
We were inspired by the 6 degrees to Kevin Bacon project.
What it does
Given a valid Wikipedia article title, like Apple, it will find a route to the Philosophy article.
How we built it
We built it using a NodeJS backend with a Vue frontend.
Challenges we ran into
The most challenging part was the backend algorithm to get to the Philosophy page, it required recursion, web scraping, regex, and parsing.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud that the algorithm can get to Philosophy on almost any Wikipedia page.
What we learned
We learned about web scraping, Vue, and deployment.
What's next for DH-PhilosophyWikipedia
We may add features for getting to any page, maybe adding timestamps, and possibly improving the speed of our algorithm.
