Just tried it, looks like a feed of random wikipedia articles. The first article that came up was about some french village, not exactly engaging to be honest.

I mean there's not too many other ways you could make a scrolling Wikipedia feed and it all sounds terrible. Wikipedia is at its best when feeding a rabbit hole via nested links to the concepts that underlie what you are already learning about.

This person is probably trying to build a portfolio of applications they can say they've made so they can get a job doing something useful. Smashing a new ui on old info is a relatively brainless way to do that, and doesn't require much critical thought.
