Nice loading indicator! People just don't know how to make those anymore. I think you mistitled your submission, though?

You can do this manually, obviously. The key is the starting point. The design of thermonuclear weapons is always a good place to begin.

So they took the worst aspect of Wikipedia (Wikipedia), and the worst aspect of "social" media (doom scrolling), and combined them? Brilliant concept. When can we expect the IPO?

Cool story bro

WP is already shit, why should anyone doomscroll it?

I like the concept, but I'm not going to be reading Simple English Wikipedia.
