Philly's Wiki Since 2011
"Where Philadelphia Discovers Collaborators"
Wikidelphia™ is primarily a crowd-sourced, categorized index to websites. It aims to answer the question, "What are the people of the Philadelphia region doing to help themselves, their neighbors and their communities?"
| ≫☆≪★≫☆≪ 𝙴𝚍𝚒𝚝𝚘𝚛'𝚜 𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚎 |
| Wikidelphia is now mobile-optimized (mostly)! Our provider updated our software, and now a few of our features need repair. BUT, there's a big benefit: If you rotate your phone (90°) to landscape mode, you can read everything! Text isn't tiny and un-zoomable! (Maybe you'll need to zoom a wee bit or Hide a sidebar.) The same phone-friendly "upgrade" has been discovered at our beyond-Philly sister site Other Networks. |
