A simple and easy to use Wikipedia Text User Interface
wiki-tui currently has these features:
- Browse through Wikipedia (Set the language by changing the url in the config)
- Uses webscraping and a custom view to display wikipedia articles in the terminal
- Use links to open other articles
These features are planned: - View and interact with more elements of wikipedia articles (like tables, images, etc.)
Note: These Screenshots were taken on alacritty (MacOS) with the spaceduck theme and the Sauce Code Pro font
Currently, you can install wiki-tui only by compiling it manually.
Just clone the repository and compile the stable branch.

The settings here are all colors and can be set by either the name of the color or a hex string (valid formats are: #ffffff, #fff). If your color wasn't applied, check the logs to find out why.
The actual colors displayed in your terminal can change depending on your terminal settings
