What is Wikiwand?
Like you, we're huge Wikipedia fans! In fact, who isn't? Wikipedia is the greatest curator of human knowledge, allowing people all around the world to freely access over 30 million articles. The only problem? Wikipedia was built 13 years ago - and hasn't changed much since then.
In the past decade, web and mobile applications have made huge leaps forward in terms of user experience and functionality - we want to bring those same benefits to your Wikipedia experience. That's why we've created Wikiwand, giving good old Wikipedia a great new look.
Wikiwand is a modern interface for web and mobile, that optimizes Wikipedia's amazing content for a quicker and significantly improved reading experience. Fortunately, all articles on Wikipedia are released under a free license, which allows us to fetch Wikipedia articles and optimize them for maximum readability and enjoyment. At Wikiwand, we're all about providing you with a better, easier access point to the world's knowledge. We hope you enjoy the result

Lightweight, beautiful, customizable.
I discovered Wikiwand as a Chrome extension but now have stopped using it as it does not work all the time: in order to redirect you to the Wikiwand version of an existing Wikipedia page, it needs the original URL to be in a very specific order or else it fails. Despite ditching the Chrome extension, I now enjoy rewriting the Wikipedia URLs manually (i.e: https://wikiwand.com/en/sameaswikihere) so as to see the article displayed on Wikiwand. It's a gem for visual thinkers and designers who think too that Wikipedia is in serious need of a branding update.
