rbwiki.mahanna.dev

A Rube Goldberg Machine for accessing condensed Wikipedia page content through photo recognition.

Built with Express, using Typescript, JQuery, Handlebars, HTML, CSS, and the Google Cloud Vision & MediaWiki APIs.

It was originally intended for taking pictures of LP Records and getting condensed Wiki info about their album & band, but it can work with other things, like a book cover or a famous face.

To run:

• You will need a Google Cloud API Key (set as GCP_API_KEY in your .env)
• yarn install
• yarn build
• yarn dev
