Thanks everyone for the feedback!

I just published version 1.3; Albin added Wikidata support to the
wmflabs API, and Diderot now queries Wikidata if no nearby
unillustrated articles are found on Wikipedia.

(You can also now customize the color of the time text.)

  Looks like a cool thing indeed! Any chance to expand
that to Wikidata? It's

  a superset of all Wikipedias, plus things like UK
National Heritage sites,
 so it will give you many more candidates in some regions.

  Hi folks!

 I made something that I think is pretty cool: a watchface for Pebble
 smartwatches that shows you the nearest unphotographed Wikipedia
 article. I've been using it for about a month, and I'm really happy
 with how it's turned out. I've taken a lot of photos for articles that
 I wouldn't have otherwise.

 It's called "Diderot". If you have a Pebble, check it out:

 A few neat things about it:

 * You can configure it for a number of different language versions of
 Wikipedia
 * It uses a wmflabs API by Albin Larrson which filters out articles
 that have only a png or svg illustration, so you still see the
 articles that have a map or logo but lack a real photograph.
