    Hi all,

    I wanted to build something small over the weekend so I wrote Wikimark, a social bookmarking website powered by Wikidata.

    You might remember DNS over Wikipedia[0]: it's a browser extension that uses Wikipedia to find the latest URL of a given website and redirects you there. Wikimark is similar. You give it a name that the website is commonly known as (e.g., "academic-torrents"), and it finds and redirects you to the latest URL of that website. The difference is, you don't need to install anything at all to use Wikimark and it still runs in your browser.

    Try it:

    https://academic-torrents.wikimark.net

    I'll be around to answer your questions!

    Here’s my app’s logo: https://github.com/GarrettAlbright/wptrans/blob/master/Icon%...

    Note that it does not use the same colors as the Wikipedia logo or the same puzzle piece/globe iconography. It uses a serifed “W” as well as characters from other writing systems, with a brown and yellow color scheme. If, after considering this, you still believe I was intentionally inviting confusion between my app and an official Wikipedia product even before all of the documentation stating that is not the case, I believe that you are either operating on very bad faith, or are one of Wikipedia’s lawyers trying to justify your invoice. “Our firm removed 20 violating apps from the App Store this month!”
