About
A personal project, a folder of files, and nobody at the other end.
Who writes this
Me, Romaric, in my spare time. No team, no company, no roadmap: just the urge to read three interesting lines a day, and to see how far you can get without a server.
How it is made
Every morning a program picks Wikipedia articles, has a language model write an anecdote from each one, throws out the ones that invent a number, copy their source or repeat something already published, and files what is left as plain data. The site only reads those files.
There is no server
No API, no database, no account: static files sitting on a CDN, and that is the whole of it. Search itself runs in your browser, on an index downloaded piece by piece — what you type goes nowhere, for lack of anywhere to send it.
What I know about you
Nothing, and that is not modesty: no cookie, no account, no analytics, no advertising. Your favorites live in this browser's local storage, they never leave your device and I cannot read them. That is also why they do not follow you from one device to the next: the Settings page can export them to a file.
It can be wrong
The texts are written by a machine from Wikipedia articles, and the automatic filters catch the worst slips, not all of them. Every anecdote shows its source and points at the exact revision of the article: when in doubt, the link wins.
