Smashing Wikipedia
=================
Smashing Wikipedia is an app that cuts Wikipedia articles down to size. You can load random articles, pick from those listed in the sidebar, or view your own by replacing the article name in the URL with the name of the article (i.e. rickyvetter.com/smashingwikipedia/#/Richard Nixon).
Features:
---------
* Consumes wikipedia's restful JSON API
* View random article - 1st paragraph only (or full extract via setting change in the JS)
* Refresh or select a new random article
* Single-page application
* No page refresh required to update API data
* Completely client side application
Functionality:
--------------
* Responsive design for on mobile and laptop/desktop
* Tested on Firefox, Chrome, IE9+, Windows Phone, iPhone
* Should work on Android, Opera
* Ignores user chatter/talk (check out namespaces in the API)
* Links to main article
* Can be used with only key strokes
* ~~Can be used with swipe~~ removed because prevent default on gesture libraries made scrolling difficult.
Built With:
-----------
* jQuery
* HTML5
* CSS3
