Kiwix JS PWA - Offline Wikipedia Reader https://pwa.kiwix.org/
Mon 25 Apr 2022 01:51:33 PM PDT archive.org

This is an implementation of the Kiwix offline Wikipedia reader as a progressive web app which runs in modern web browsers. You can download ZIM files through the app for later or open ones you already have. As long as it's an OpenZIM format archive file you can open it. When you install it, it shows up like any other application on the desktop.

Two modes: Jquery (for older browsers) and ServiceWorker (newer browsers, also supports archives with dynamic content)

A proof-of-concept inspired and enabled by Hosting SQLite Databases on Github Pages and the ensuing Hacker News post. The compiled single-page app supports autocomplete for titles, automatic redirecting & other MediaWiki datasets like WikiQuote or Chinese Wikipedia. It makes no external API calls except to get Wikipedia's images.

Seems ideal for making offline copies of Wikipedia (or other Mediawiki installs, it's implied) available.

Search is disabled right now.

Kiwix https://www.kiwix.org/
Tue 20 Mar 2018 12:40:52 AM PDT archive.org

Kiwix is a utility which lets you archive web pages so that they can be read offline or copied and distributed in the event that there is no connectivity. While it was designed to work with Wikipedia it will actually work with just about any website you throw at it. Cross platform, runs on Windows, Linux, and other OSes. There is even a portable Windows version that doesn't require installation.

Where and how to download mirrors of Wikipedia (or any of the Wikimedia projects, for that matter). You can put the copies up someplace to set up mirrors, put up local copies, archive them, give them to people, set up your own instance, use it for research...

XOWA http://xowa.org/
Tue 20 Mar 2018 12:31:04 AM PDT archive.org

XowA does one thing and does it well: It lets you make a local backup of Wikipedia (probably any Mediawiki, really) to carry around with you or copy to removable media (like a USB key or DVD-ROMs) so you can give out copies and read it offline. Runs on Windows, Linux, and MacOSX. Portable - can be run from removable media. Even includes a search engine. Written in Java.
