# A Call for Help - ZIM File Expertise

2025-05-21 - [51] 3:2

For quite a while now, I have made my gemini capsule and website collectively available for offline browsing via a ZIP file. That certainly works for what my goal is of "allow anyone who visits my site to grab everything and browse offline if they wish". Another system that fulfills that goal is ZIM files with Kiwix.

If someone happens to know how to generate ZIM files from a ZIP file, or otherwise might know an easy enough way for me to scrape my site or ZIP file to create the ZIM file, I would love to hear from you. This is especially the case if there is a way you happen to know where I can modify a ZIM file to update only modified files. Either way, I am at stage 0 of building a ZIM file of my site, so anything that builds a ZIM file is further progress than I have succeeded on.

Please keep in mind that if you send me an email, I will be sending a response from a different email address that should still obviously look like it came from me, but might end up in your spam folder.

If you can help, please get a hold of me via my email address.
