Would you ever add a “feed” feature?

rewsearle on

South Africa

The app is great for finding specific pages when searched for, but would you ever consider adding a “feed” feature which provides articles related to the user’s current searches? Possibly in a scroll-down fashion. This provides more directed content than the “Random article” feature, and the “On this day” feature.

Application Will Not Open

Most marvellous rabbit-hole.

Once one dives into the Wikipedia rabbit-hole, and starts clicking on links, one is unlikely to emerge for a long time. Kudos to everyone involved.
