A simple and easy to use Wikipedia Text User Interface

## Preview
### Features
`wiki-tui` currently has these features:
- Browse through Wikipedia (Set the language by changing the url in the config)
- Uses webscraping and a custom view to display wikipedia articles in the terminal
- Use links to open other articles
These features are planned:
- View and interact with more elements of wikipedia articles (like tables, images, etc.)
### How it looks
