Show HN: I built a CLI-first pipeline that turns Wikipedia into narrated videos (github.com)

Hi HN, I’m the author.

This started as an engineering experiment around whether video creation can be made reproducible and pipeline-driven, rather than manually edited.

Wiki2Video is a CLI-first, end-to-end system: Wikipedia → script → narration → visuals → subtitles → final video.

I also tested it by running a small YouTube channel to uncover real-world bottlenecks, not just demo outputs.

Would love feedback from people who have built automation or content pipelines.

This reminds me of https://wiki.devilfruit.com

Cool project!

Thanks! That’s a good comparison.

My focus here is less on building a curated wiki experience, and more on making the entire transformation reproducible as a pipeline .

I’m especially curious how far this kind of automation can go before manual curation becomes unavoidable.
