Is Wikipedia Getting Bigger Screensaver
The Is Wikipedia Getting Bigger screensaver shows the net change in bytes across a Wikipedia edition each month, key-less. Net, not gross: a month where a cleanup drive removes more than contributors add is negative, and the bar is drawn from a zero line so those read as negative rather than as nothing. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
