🧠 Overview
WikiSage is a smart, educational app built for the WikiVerse Hackathon. It allows users to explore comprehensive information about any topic by aggregating and organizing resources from across Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, Commons, Wikisource, and more — all in one place.
🎯 Problem Statement
Millions of users rely on Wikimedia for learning, but navigating multiple platforms (Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, etc.) to gather full information on a single topic is time-consuming and fragmented.
There is no unified platform that allows learners to:
- Seamlessly explore all types of Wikimedia content (articles, books, quotes, images, source texts) on one topic
- Access diverse formats of learning content (definitions, timelines, media, references)
- Interact with this knowledge in a structured, multilingual, and accessible way
💡 Solution
WikiSage solves this by:
- Fetching content from multiple Wikimedia public APIs
- Structuring them into an intuitive, topic-based interface
- Providing features like multilingual support, content export, and related topic mapping
