       Show HN: Rabbit Holes
        
       Built a way to spatially explore wikipedia topics!  Enter a topic
       of your choice and dig into the rabbit hole. All content is from
       Wikipedia--related topics are generated with GPT based on the
       summary.  Spacebar to expand a topic inline, arrow keys to move
       around, and "J" to open journey view!

       | This is a cool idea and is fun to explore. It would be cool to be
       | able to revisit a page/topic via the journey view. (Perhaps you
       | can, but I'm unable to on Firefox iOS). I think it's interesting
       | that each time I revisit a topic, I might be given a different
       | set of choices; leading me down a different branch. Thanks for
       | sharing!

       | Having only a linear track of topics kind of undermines the
       | overall idea!

         | yeah was originally a way to keep mobile more constrained and
         | usable -- but definitely isn't as fun. Will add 4 directions
         | back in on mobile :)

       | Cool idea, however I feel the linked topics are pretty narrow and
       | may not be very related. It could be more like a map.

       | specific and up is more general? Or is it just a related topic
       | (meaning up and down aren't different in any way)?

       | Cool idea. I'd suggest a few tweaks to improve text formatting.
       | Justified text generally doesn't read well on a device. Better to
       | justify left. And paragraph breaks seem to be lost, which makes
       | it harder to read and scan.
