Hi HN,

I often find Google Maps too cluttered when I just want to know "what is that building?" or "what happened here?".

I hacked together this little tool to solve that. It acts as a clean interface over the Wikipedia API, showing you relevant articles based on your exact location. I've been using it personally while traveling around the UK and it's surprisingly effective at finding hidden gems.

It's a simple POC right now, but I'm looking to expand it. Let me know if you find it useful or if it breaks for your location!
