I recently found a website called WikiBoard, an online platform that changes how you explore Wikipedia and do casual research. If you start on an article about Ping-pong and end up in algebraic topology 20 tabs later, this tool is made for you.

WikiBoard lets you pin articles, link them together, add notes, and see your browsing path in a clear visual layout. It turns the usual chaotic Wikipedia rabbit hole into a map you can actually follow.

I have been using it to organize topics I explore often, such as political theory, vocabulary roots, and historical research. It makes my reading feel more intentional while keeping the fun of wandering through ideas.

If you enjoy exploring Wikipedia for the sake of curiosity, give WikiBoard a look. It is simple, useful, and surprisingly fun to use.
