DWeb is a software solution developed by InternetArchive to better enjoy InternetArchive contents even without access to online InternetArchive. It is a small server in NodeJS.

We could provide the InternetArchive Catalog in Kiwix-Hostpot instaler/Cardshop with something similar to: https://github.com/internetarchive/dweb-archivecontroller

And then serve it using https://github.com/internetarchive/dweb-mirror

Discussion are ongoing with DWeb developer Mitra to add ZIM support into DWeb.

@mitra Thx for coming back here. Maybe we should take the problem from the content side. What would be your TOP5 favourite content we should propose in your opinion (using DWeb)?

Interesting question - we've been taking the approach that the people deploying systems should be the ones choosing content, not us.

@mitra I understand but I have no idea where to start with. Do you have somewhere listing all the content available? Or even a TOP list?

Good question - but have you been on Archive.org ? We have 50 Million publishable items, that is the entire point, its the largest collection of public material on the net. There is a searchable UI and also browsable through a hierarchy of collections, but there is obviously no list of the 50 million items !

I could be wrong, but I believe for it to be useful, I believe people (deployers, rather than developers) need to be able to use either the search or browsable APIs to locate material of interest and put them into whatever image they want to take into the field.

I understand the platform is very interesting but we have no use case for now so I'm closing it.
