I've created a little app for kicks which allows you to find connections between 2 terms in Wikipedia.Basically, it searches for your second term on the first terms article page. If not found, it scrapes all the internal Article pages linked to in that article, and then continues to do so until the end term is found.It then displays a collapsable tree using D3 and saves the search, connection, and tree to a database.The point for me, was to learn a little more about node, child processes in node, as well as testing w/ Mocha & Chai, which I have still have lots to do.There is much room for improvement. If anyone is interested and wants to try it out or wants make some additions/modifications to the codebase, that'd be really awesome.Repo here: http://ift.tt/1RwiF1p here: http://ift.tt/1RwiF1r also have an instance on Heroku, message me and I can share the URL privately.
