# Wikidata Topic Curator

This is a simplified rewrite of ItemSubjector into a webapp 

to help wikimedians curate scientific articles with topics.

## Inspiration

This app was inspired by [topictagger](https://github.com/lubianat/topictagger), AuthorDisambiguator and Scholia.

The bootstrap layout was inspired by [Wikidata Lexeme Forms](https://lexeme-forms.toolforge.org/)

## What I learned

* the syntax of flask and FastAPI seem very similar

* jinja2 templates are really cool

* pycharm has very nice html editing support :)

* chatgpt is very good at helping with flask apps, which really sped up development

* bootstrap is nice, I don't have to fiddle with CSS at all, just choose a few classes and it's good enough to get out the door

* chatgpt can generate all the javascript I'll ever need for simple projects like this one. Very nice not having to learn and keep that in memory at all.

## Effort

This software is a product of about two weeks work of time.
