I've been thinking about #wikidata a lot, and asking "What is the reading experience supposed to be like?" and I though about data websites that I read a lot, and one came time mind: IMDb. While I was at #wikimania-hackathon-2018 I started work (ok, I haven't done much) on a IMDb clone that uses wikidata:
running prototype: https://wikimdb.davidwbarratt.com/item/25188
code: https://github.com/davidbarratt/wikimdb
This is a trivial example, but I think the reading experience of wikidata is actually many reading experiences. There isn't a single "one size fits all" way to browse/consume data. Perhaps there's a website for browsing books, and another for birds, and another for places, etc.
I think that's where tasks like this come in... there needs to be an easy way to rapidly create reading experiences built on wikidata. I think GraphQL is perhaps, one of those tools.
