8 years ago Thank you for your words of encouragement. I really appreciate and admire what You are doing in the Kiwix and openZIM projects. Glad to hear that you are thinking about Qt because Qt is super cool :-)
Zimpedia is definitely not written from scratch. It actually completely relies on zimlib and qhttpserver. To be honest, my contribution was rather modest. I did only QML GUI with addition of few lines of C++ to glue HTTP server and zimlib. Everything was possible because openZIM team work. Thank you for that.
PS: I've updated Readme to include info about zimlib and OpenZIM.
Hi, I'm lead dev at Kiwix and maintain also the openZIM project. I'm really happy to see your effort starting. Not only because this offers a solution to read ZIM files on an additional system but also because we plan to rewrite our desktop port (OSX/Win/Linux) using Qt and that's what you use. I see that you have rewritten a lot from scratch (you don't seem to reuse neither the zimlib nor the Kiwx HTTP server kiwix-serve), may I ask why? Anyway, you are more than welcome to talked about Zimpedia on #kiwix IRC channel (Freenode), I would be really happy to exchange with you about these topics.
