As I’ve said before, it’s natural to want to just randomly flip through content. Whether it’s flipping through the TV ages ago or perusing books in a library before that, humans have a tendency to shut their brains off on occasion and leave their enjoyment center up to fate. One such app is Wildcard, which basically serves as a randomized news source. In other words, it’s a web browser that lets you select from suggested, tending bits of content, as well as search for what you want.
I immediately tested it out by typing in Marvel to see what would pop up, and in addition to the standard Wikipedia entry for the company, flipping through would produce current news for the film franchise as well as related news from properties like DC. It’s a living search, so instead of looking for something on another platform and selecting an article based on keywords or a headline, you’ll see a preview text box and an accompanying image.
The UI is facilitated through a clever “card” format, hence the “Wildcard” deck gimmick. It’s a small thing, but the interface is clean and easy to read. Wildcard is a dual-function app, allowing you to easily look through product reviews and even purchase something inside.
