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

A live demo can be found [here](https://rbwiki.mahanna.dev/).

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.

- You will need a [Google Cloud API Key](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/api-keys) (set as GCP_API_KEY in your `.env`)
