What is dailypedia?
Six million Wikipedia articles. One, chosen for you each day.
No feed, no noise. Just one article a day, tuned to what you can’t help being curious about. Never get lost down the , and never rush. Every door it opens stays halfway open, to meet again one day.
How your daily discovery gets personal.
dailypedia learns the shape of your curiosity, then opens one article each morning that’s only yours. Read it, like it or skip it, and tomorrow’s pick knows you a little better.
Tell it what you wonder about
In a quiet couple of minutes, you pick the worlds you’re drawn to. Fine-tune by the topics within them, if you like.
It maps your curiosity
Those picks become a private map of what could pull you in, hundreds of small signals across dozens of topics. A first sense of you, before you’ve read a word.
One arrives, each morning
One entry, chosen for you and ready for a calm read. No links to follow, nothing else to disturb you. When you’re done, you’re done, and what you thought of it sharpens tomorrow’s pick.
In time, no two readers drift the same way.
Two people can start from the very same worlds. Read a while, and your daily article becomes something that’s yours alone.
What waits behind today’s door.
Alchemy
Alchemy was an ancient art that chased three impossible dreams: turning lead into gold, brewing an elixir of immortality, and finding a single cure for every disease. Practised from China to the Muslim world to medieval Europe, its adepts guarded their work in cyphers and cryptic symbols — and in the guarding, invented real laboratory craft that became the seed of modern chemistry. Even Isaac Newton, in private, spent years an alchemist.
The feed asks for all of your time and almost none of your attention. A rabbit hole asks the opposite. dailypedia rebuilds the second one:
one personal door a day.
A new door, not a feed
One entry a day, with a beginning and an end. The rare app that hopes it stays with you after you close it, then leaves you alone.
Truly yours, and it learns
No trending bar, no algorithm chasing the crowd. Just the article your own curiosity points to, and it becomes more you each day.
Made to be read
Every entry is typeset like a page from a fine almanac: real typography, generous space, and nothing flashing for your attention.
The daily read I wished existed.
In the mid-2010s, a friend showed me IFTTT, a little automation app. Then one day an applet there caught my attention: it emails you a random Wikipedia article every morning. I loved the idea. But then I felt something was missing. It didn’t quite speak to my curiosity, because it just didn’t know me.
The Wikipedia I loved was the kind I fell into myself, hopping from one link to the next, endless exploration driven by my own curiosity rather than a random pick. I later learned it was called the wiki rabbit hole. That was the good part. The bad part was the time: ten minutes easily turned into hours. And these days, I don’t feel like I have as much of it to spare.
So I built dailypedia, to put the two together. One article a day, driven by your curiosity, with no drowning to steal your hours. You read it and you’re done. It’s the daily read I wished existed.
