I love falling down Wikipedia rabbit holes, so I built a wiki that's written for me and maps everywhere I've been

I've always been a wiki deep-diver. I look up one thing, click a few links, and an hour later I'm on some obscure page about quantum physics. I love it, but two things always bugged me. The pages weren't written or linked the way I think: I always want the early history of a topic, how it came to be, and I had to dig for it every time. And nothing was saved, so the whole trail was gone once I closed the tabs. So I built Knowmad, a personalized wiki. Every page is written for you. Ask about anything and it researches the topic (Wikipedia, papers, open libraries) and writes the page around what you already know and how you like things explained. Mine always start with the early history, how the thing came to be. Ask a question on a page or rate it, and it's rewritten for you; every page after remembers. Every rabbit hole becomes a map. That's the screenshot. Each bubble is a topic. The dark ones are where you've gone deep, and the dashed ones are where it thinks you'd wander next. Topics settle under the area they belong to, so you end up seeing the shape of your own curiosity. Every page links onward, so wandering and exploring is the whole point. Im testing it on iPhone and web now: tryknowmad.com
