Xikipedia presents content from Simple English Wikipedia in a format resembling a social media feed. It is designed to demonstrate how a basic algorithm, operating without machine learning and without data from other users, can adapt to individual engagement patterns to suggest similar content. The algorithm functions entirely on the user's device, ensuring that no personal data leaves the device at any point.
The platform allows users to interact with Wikipedia articles in a feed-based interface, where engagement with content influences future suggestions. Users can pick categories to tailor their experience or add their own, and the system keeps track of liked posts and category statistics. There is a setting to determine whether algorithm data is stored locally; if disabled, the feed resets with each session. Xikipedia also provides an option to open articles in standard English Wikipedia instead of Simple English Wikipedia.
Once loaded, Xikipedia is fully functional offline and can be installed as an app via an install button. The tool is web-based, and its source code is available on GitHub. It is noted that iOS users may encounter memory limitations imposed by the platform, which could affect usability on some devices. The platform may display random Wikipedia content, including potentially NSFW material, and advises that only adults should proceed.
