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: 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.
