  1. Super cool project;

    github.com/epheterson/Zimi

    It's an alternate front end for Kiwix's ZIM's. Auto updating through torrents with seeding, catalogue search, tons of built ins, like calendar, sky and space data. ZIM's are sorted by category, with custom sorting and favourites.

    It even pulls random data for some ZIM's, like "word of the day" or "this day in history".

    The world map ZIM works amazing with search and random locations, although a bit slow on a Pi5.

    Something I've found really interesting is from the home screen you can click the random button and it'll give you a random article from all your ZIM's.

    A big bonus is the dev is very friendly!

  21. Does anybody know a workflow for converting exported #MediaWiki XML (as produced by `Special:Export`) to a ZIM for use with #KiwiX?

    I'm willing to write some Python code for this if needed but would be happier if there's some tool that lets me just drop in the XML and get a KiwiX-ready ZIM out. I'm not fussed about the aesthetics of the result.

    This is all the more relevant now that they’ve announced you’ll have to provide ID / face scans to to access sites like #YouTube or #Twitter in the #UK.

    Good luck banning or controlling #RSS feeds and podcasts.

    Also worth checking out #Kiwix if you haven’t yet.

  32. Wikipedia has a 'built-in' reverse video button which is excellent for reading in low light (i.e. non-office) conditions.
    Is it possible to achieve a similar effect whilst browsing ZIMs with Kiwix?
