Wiki trail

A sibling of the procedural page, but built from real content: live Wikipedia articles, fetched from the Wikimedia REST API as you explore. Pick a starting point below, then click any link inside the article. Instead of navigating away, the next article appears below — and the page you left freezes into a small summary card, so its DOM stops costing memory while the trail behind you keeps growing. Tap a frozen card to thaw it back into a full article.

The whole journey lives in the URL, so a rabbit hole is shareable and replayable. Browser history normally hides the shape of a wander like this — here the trail is the page. (There's a bigger idea lurking: this could grow into a whole browser paradigm where history is spatial rather than a hidden stack. Parked for a later experiment.)
