The Article Randomizer (GAR or FAR) gets a random good article or featured article and displays it to the user. Due to CORS issues, randomization is done on the server side whereas article information is gathered on the client side. This project makes use of the Action API (through Special:RandomInCategory) and the REST API (through /page/<page>).
This attempts to mimic the randomizer found on the Wikipedia Android app.
