Some sort of memories-style file for topics so it can generate even more cross-references and a sort of shared world. Not for total coherence; the natural contradictions the LLM is going to generate anyhow is just part of the charm. But still sliding the scale a bit more in the direction of coherence that the "use this page's context when generating the clicked link" already leans would add some more appeal, I think.

For instance, you can build memories around times, topics, and people, so maybe specific individuals will be quoted multiple times over the course of the wiki and could build up a specific identity within the shared world.

Also... I don't know how you are thinking of this internally, but other than the issues of token spend and the $$$ involved, I would say, don't even blink at simply nuking the site at some point and starting over once you have some moderation stuff in place and other limits. Don't put it on yourself to filter out what garbage has already been generated. It's all transient content. It lazily regenerates itself anyhow. It's not precious, except for, like I said, the aforementioned token costs, which I don't deny. You can probably put some other tweaks in to the prompt to your liking at that point too.

Could be interesting direction to discover. The only problem with such implementation is it could take some work to make it cheap and actually well working. And I'm just thinking about the near future of this project.

I really like it, but without organic traffic, at the position we're right now, the moment HN stops showing us at the top, we will loose all the visitor.

And it's not like I'm trying to do a startup out of it. I just very enjoy making something people love! It's first time in my life and it's amazing.

If you have any interesting thought, please leave them here - I'll definitely read it, or visit our discord [link on halupedia ;) ].
