Read wikipedia articles distraction free
Project description
WikiReader
WikiReader is a simple wikipedia browser tool writen in Python for reading Wikipedia articles without distraction. It uses Suckless' dmenu for finding articles.
It is written for my own purposes and is deliberately kept simple.
Installation
To install WikiReader, simply run:
pip install wikireader
WikiReader was written in Python 3.8.5 and had dmenu as an external dependency. To install dmenu:
On Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt install dmenu
On Arch Linux:
pacman -S dmenu
WikiReader also relies on PyQt5, so it needs the dependencies of that package as well.
Usage
Run the command wikireader
. A dmenu instance will popup on your screen. Here you can write a
keyword or query. The dmenu will disappear and reappear with suggestions to articles. After
chosing one, the article will be loaded and shown in a simplified html form.
Config
Configuration is not implemented yet. However the appearance of the text can be modified by
css. This file is created after the first run of the program at ~/.config/wikireader/layout.css
.
If you mess it up, you can just delete the file and it will be recreated after rerunning WikiReader.
Licence
The package is released under MIT license.
