About OrangeCrumbs

OrangeCrumbs is a fast, swipeable browser for Wikipedia articles that became popular on Hacker News.

The site is built for easy discovery: open an article, keep scrolling, save what you like, and share any card with a real preview.

How articles are selected

OrangeCrumbs tracks Hacker News submissions that link to Wikipedia, then uses HN points, comments, article metadata, and broad topic labels to organize the feed.

Inspiration

The swipeable Wikipedia-reader idea was inspired by Isaac Gemal's open-source WikiTok project (GitHub, HN discussion). OrangeCrumbs applies that style of browsing to Wikipedia links that have already caught Hacker News' attention.

Independence

OrangeCrumbs is an independent project. It is not affiliated with Wikipedia, the Wikimedia Foundation, Hacker News, or Y Combinator.
