Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Pebble smartwatch tool for finding Wikipedia photo
opportunities
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedi...@lists.wikimedia.org>


Hi folks!

I made something that I think is pretty cool: a watchface for Pebble
smartwatches that shows you the nearest unphotographed Wikipedia
article. I've been using it for about a month, and I'm really happy
with how it's turned out. I've taken a lot of photos for articles that
I wouldn't have otherwise.

It's called "Diderot". If you have a Pebble, check it out:
https://apps.getpebble.com/en_US/application/57dc94602a6ea665510000f0

A few neat things about it:

* You can configure it for a number of different language versions of
Wikipedia
* It uses a wmflabs API by Albin Larrson which filters out articles
that have only a png or svg illustration, so you still see the
articles that have a map or logo but lack a real photograph.
