|
|
| ## 🧠 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 |
|
