Really cool concept) any plans to add search or topic-based filtering? would make it so much easier to dive into specific rabbit holes.

Fun way to explore the unusual articles. I wonder if there is a way to rate them or show some kind of weighting to tell you how "unusual" they are.

Wikipedia has: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Unusual_articles

I think this is just an interface to that.

As bdsa said, 99 percent are from that Wikipedia page as is, but there's a few dozen I've added in that I've stumbled across and favourited over the years.
