New tool 'Local Wikipedia' filters Wikipedia entries by walking distance

A new website called Local Wikipedia displays only geocoded Wikipedia pages located within roughly a half-hour walk of the user's location. If fewer than 25 entries exist nearby, it expands the radius to about 6 miles to reach 25 results, capping the list at 500 entries. The site states it keeps location data in the user's browser and is not affiliated with Wikipedia.

New open-source tool WaveDigger maps Wi-Fi and cell towers by ID

WaveDigger is a web tool that locates Wi-Fi access points by their BSSID and cell towers by LTE or 5G network parameters, plotting results on an interactive deck.gl map. Built with Next.js and TypeScript, it includes input validation, search history, and a hosted version at wavedigger.networksurvey.app. The project relies on protocol work from the apple-corelocation-experiments team, which reverse-engineered Apple's WLOC location API.
