I'll read a page and click on any link I'm curious about. Before I know it, I'm far from where I started. I wanted to visualize the wacky paths I had taken. So I made this. I've read nearly all the pages in their entirety. Check out the Github Repo!
Here are the rough steps:
Locate Browser History file
Use Excel VBA to delete all non-Wikipedia URLs
Use Python to scrape all links on each visited Wikipedia page
Use Python to compare the on-page links to the list of visited pages
Inputting my known starting page, my Python script iterates through each path and generates a JSON tree
Use a Javascript library D3js, to visualize JSON tree
Add a few features like summaries and links to pages on the tree
