Not to be confused with tangent (geometry).
Tangent is a swipeable feed of random Wikipedia articles. No account, no algorithm, no tracking — just serendipity.
In development · coming first to iOS
Every card is a blind draw from almost seven million articles. Nothing ranks, nothing tracks, nothing learns what keeps you hooked — serendipity is the whole algorithm.
Stubs, disambiguation pages and imageless entries are filtered out before they ever reach you. What’s left is the good part of Wikipedia: substantial, visual, worth the swipe.
The good kind of distraction. Save what grabs you, share what’s too weird not to, and read the full article without losing your place in the feed.
1. ^ As opposed to the engagement-optimized kind. There is no recommendation engine here — every article is plain random, drawn straight from Wikipedia.
Articles in the demo, in case you’d like to fall in now: The Great Wave off Kanagawa · Earthrise · the Flammarion engraving · the Voyager Golden Record.
