History on tap.
Every day Wikipedia curates a short list of notable events that happened on that calendar date — battles, inventions, elections, first performances, last stands. This widget pulls that feed live and lays one event at a time across a tiny reading card.
Pick between selected (Wikipedia's editor-curated highlights), events (the long chronological list), births, deaths, or holidays. Tap Next event to cycle without another network round-trip.
