Someone created a web page on labs somewhere that does exactly this, and I used it to improve my neighborhood, but I can't find it now :(

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: https://apps.getpebble.com/en_US/application/57dc94602a6ea665510000f0
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.

Here you go, Rehman:

Excellent app by Wikipedian John Phelan.
Also allows you to plan whole walking routes to snap several photos, and even allows doing so in advance, i.e. for other locations, so you can plan a trip and then have it even without a mobile data connection.
