Zim

How to access complete wiki, offline, on mobile phones?

Asked by Tim

In the absence of a "Zimdroid" mobile app for Android phones & tablets, what is the best way to access my Zim wikis while on the go, in read-only mode. These are the constraints:

* Searchable across the whole wiki (not one page at a time)
* Integrated, with links and, ideally, backlinks & tags - so raw text files are not ideal
* Secure - due to the nature of the content in the wiki, any conversion process needs to be run locally (Linux)

The Zim web interface is a good first step, but requires access to the server over a network. One option might be EPUB, but I have not found tools yet that can convert a complete website (Zim on localhost:8080) to an ebook yet.

Any ideas?

I don't think I can help you, sounds to me you are asking for
something that is simply not available (yet).

If you want more opinions, you can better ask the mailing list instead
of here, this section is more intended for bug related questions, not
brainstorm or discussion.

Regards,

Jaap
