My blog to ZIM file conversion is ongoing - it's a bit too manual right now but that's short term while I clear the backlog.
It's also given me time to reread early content and I'm quite surprised by the unintended prescience of some postings. For instance, my April Fool joke in 2016 about the UK Government bringing in a mandatory "Physical Key Escrow" in which home owners/occupiers are required to supply a physical copy of their dwelling door key to The Authorities.
Once I've done the migration I'll crack on with writing more - the dark nights and mornings are approaching and there'll be no excuse not to :)
Anyway .. https://petergarner.net/notes.php?thisnote=20160401-Physical+Key+Escrow+system.html

In an unusually serendipitous moment (or luck, maybe), I've found that my blog format is 99.5% compatible with the format I need to make a #Kiwix ZIM fille! Sometimes I surprise myself ...
Anyway, I've currently converted 1 blog post and have set up a download location on the web server. Please visit https://petergarner.net/ZIM/ and check out "Reservoir Dog". Please leave feedback here!

Spent a fascinating day yesterday creating a test #Kiwix ZIM to house what I hope will become a local community blog - The Skircoat Journal (West Yorkshire, UK). I help out at a local community library so i'm planning to do a writeup called "The Future is ... Offline"; maybe get some volunteers to contribute content. Later there are plans to start converting my blog posts to ZIM as well. Images in my blog are stored within the text as base64 strings for portability and I was delighted to see that Kiwix supports this. 🎉
Most of my time was spent finessing the CSS - my least favourite job - then it was many iterations with zimwriterfs and loading into tbe Kiwix app on Android phone and iPad mini for consistency checks. The Read Aloud on Android is amazing!
The only thing I'm not sure about is where to externally host these ZIMs - some would be local interest but more widely interesting and the blog ZIMs would be universally popular (I think). Any suggestions welcome!

📢 I had the pleasure of working with the @kiwix team on a case study titled "How the #Kiwix PWA allows users to store Gigabytes of data from the Internet for offline use": https://web.dev/case-studies/kiwix. Happy reading! Spoiler: they use the origin private file system, a #ProjectFugu API 🐡.
