This is a fork of the Kiwix-html5 which is itself a fork of Kiwix-js, mainly to test new features with a focus on loading .ZIM archives over XHR and HTTP, for use on minimal openwrt routers that only static webservers will run on. In this mode all you need to read and search a ZIM Archive (an offline full archive of Wikipedia/Stackoverflow/KhanAcademy etc) is a browser.
- Find and download an offline archive here
- Download the code here
Unzip to a folder and click on index.html - Point the app at the location of the ZIM file downloaded in step 1. (TODO: Load from URL, ATM must manually pass archive as parameter)
Thats it! You are ready to start browsing an offline version of Wikipedia.
