Offline support #151

Closed bertob closed 7 months ago

For low connectivity cases it'd be cool to be able to download an archive with the most important articles to use offline. Perhaps articles that were downloaded once could also be cached for the future, to avoid additional data use.

For the fully offline case it'd be great if archives could be imported/exported as a file, to enable sharing them via USB keys and the like.

This app does something in this direction, but seems to be unmaintained.

That would somehow overlap with the kiwix project (https://kiwix.org/en/). Actually, kiwix-desktop is quite similar to wike, only that it works only offline...

Sorry for the delay @bertob

This topic has been discussed other times. In these conversations I explain why I don't consider it: #15 #104

This app does something in this direction, but seems to be unmaintained.

From what I have seen, this application works the same as Kiwix, reading ZIM files.
