I thought the scroll didn’t work at first, apparently only the bottom of the screen is scrollable. I see other comments talking about a voice, I don’t have it, just the music? Also the content is really irrelevant and uninteresting (I’m assuming it uses a random article? It should aim for the most popular instead), it really needs some curation.

The subtitles are also hard to read, they should be displayed sentence by sentence, not word by word.

IMO you didn’t capture what makes some interesting content work on TikTok. The scientific content on TikTok doesn’t have the brainrot music, it’s just interesting because of the short format. It looks to me like a clone of TikTok made by someone who hates TikTok and built it out of assumptions on what TikTok is.

Honestly interesting Wikipedia articles summarized as TikTok content is a killer idea, but the implementation is not there yet



thanks! i spent last weekend building out the engine to create content but agree UI needs more polish. this is all great feedback will try getting out v2 of quickquack rebranded to wikwok :)


I think you are taking this more seriously than the creator. It's just a bit of fun.


Yeah because I think it’s a seriously good idea. Making knowledge and science somewhat addictive is a cool goal

I could see myself using that


It is a cool goal... but I don't think it's a realistic one.


Graph structure of wiki could be exploited for user specific content.
