Hola,
Since I’m bearded and moderately overweight let me be the one to bring the
first present for the holiday season and introduce *Zimit*, a pretty cool
new tool that allows people to produce their own Zim files. Yes, you read
that correctly.
* If you are the type that cannot wait to unwrap presents, you will find
it at
https://youzim.it <https://www.youzim.it>
* For everyone else:
The interface is pretty minimalist, and that’s part of the message:
1. Insert target URL
2. Insert email address so we can tell you when your zim is ready
3. Download zim file
There is a limit at 1,000 items for each zim because (a) we don’t want to
DDoS unsuspecting websites with requests; and (ii) also would not be able
to afford the bill If it becomes as popular as we think it will be (we need
to find an acceptable business model and pricing structure: any advice
welcome). But since this is free software, you can obviously cut the
middleman by copying, studying, modifying and redistributing the code that
can be found here:
https://github.com/openzim/zimit
Because this relies on newly-implemented service workers, these new zim
files will only work on Kiwix-android and Kiwix-serve at the moment, but
this will obviously expand to other platforms in 2021.
This project was entirely funded by a Mozilla Open Source Support Award,
thanks to them!
Cheers,
Stephane
