In lieu of scraping Wikpedia, could this project be sped up by downloading the instance of Wikipedia itself? It's not that jumbo of a file size.

Oh wow, hadn't thought of that. Could be very possible! I'd say the main drawback is that would probably require self-hosting it instead of making use of Binder to have it available for free.

But you're right, the speed is definitely the biggest problem. I'll definitely take that idea seriously if I do anything else with this.
