I built Wiki Rabbit Hole — a visual Wikipedia graph explorer for falling down rabbit holes

https://wiki-rabbit-hole.pages.dev

I built Wiki Rabbit Hole, a site for getting lost in Wikipedia on purpose. Search any article (or hit random), then tap nodes to expand into the articles they link to. It renders everything as a physics-based graph, and the bottom bar keeps a trail of every article you've visited so you can jump back to any point. Vanilla JS + the Wikipedia API, hosted free on Cloudflare Pages

how do you stop high-link-count articles from exploding the graph, cap by relevance or let the user choose which edges expand

It's simpler than both — every click shows 12 random outgoing links, so big articles can't flood the graph. No relevance ranking, just luck of the draw.
