A few of us met to discuss offline roadmaps and challenges today, and
noting that no user gropu exists [and that other overviews of offline
projects on Meta are a bit out of date] we started a user group. This is a
very low-overhead group to provide a name for the network of all offline
projects.
Please add links to your own active projects from this page.

Hi
We just have released updates for our Javascript based Kiwix
ports for Chrome & Firefox browsers, Windows mobile and Xbox devices as
for UBports (Ubuntu Touch).
As a reminder, these ports are not full featured like native code
based Kiwix ports and might be a bit slower, but offer other nice
properties, like for example an excellent portability.
You can find the new Browser extensions:
* Chrome:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kiwix/donaljnlmapmngakoipdmehbfci…
* Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/kiwix-offline/
Kiwix JS 2.3.0 Changelog:
* Add a cache on CSS stylesheets to improve performance in jQuery mode
* Change the technical way to display articles, so that all CSS styles
can be loaded, and to avoid other technical issues
* Make the content visible only when CSS styles are read, in order to
avoir repaints that can be very slow
* Fix redirections in ServiceWorker mode in ZIM files like
StackExchange, and make the ServiceWorker handle all the articles
(including the main one, and the first displayed after a search or
random search)
* Fix links with an anchor in the URL
* In recent wikipedia and other wikimedia ZIM files, open all the
sections when using a small screen (mobile stylesheet), so that the
content remains readable (it only works in jQuery mode, this should be
fixed in ServiceWorker mode in next version)
* Fix CSS UTF-8 encoding
A full changelog can be found here:

Work continues on our forge at https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-js and
https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-js-windows.
Hope you will enjoy all or part of these new apps, features and bug fixes.
Regards
Emmanuel
