Field notes
Rabbit Hole selects three random Wikipedia articles, lets the reader choose one, and then presents a prose-focused version with links for continuing the detour. The homepage says the tool supports English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, and Japanese, while the browser keeps the selected language, theme, and trail locally. Its stated constraints are unusually clear: no sign-ups, no scores, and nothing saved beyond those local preferences and path.
