# Getting to Philosophy
I read/heard somewhere years ago that if you click on the first link of any Wikipedia article long enough, you get to either the article on Mathematics or Philosophy.
I wrote this scraper to test that.
## Requirements
- Python 3+
- BeautifulSoup 4+
- requests
## Usage
```bash
python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
./gtp
```
## UI
```bash
cd ui
bun install
bun run dev
```
## Example
