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.)
  • Better error handling
