kiwix-js-windows VS kiwix-hotspot

All apps and content are completely free and open source. If Microsoft Store ever stops working, you can sideload easily with winget or from GitHub.

Changelogs for these releases are: Kiwix JS browser extension and Kiwix JS Windows/Linux.

If you don't want the store version, an alternative is the Electron package here: https://kiwix.github.io/kiwix-js-windows/kiwix-js-electron.html - look for the package "Kiwix JS Electron Setup". Direct link to that package is: https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-js-windows/releases/download/v1.8.5/Kiwix.JS.Electron.Setup.1.8.5-E.exe . I've just checked it, and I don't see any signature issue with that version. Let me know how you get on.

Want to give feedback on this? Post here, or open an issue on the repo. This app comes in various formats: see Latest release for more info.

But since you've found the repo and are not the first one to ask, feel free to open a feature request at https://github.com/offspot/kiwix-hotspot/issues

Github says it has limited writes on the root partition. Does that mean it's okay or do I need to wire up a switch? I'm having a hard time finding info on this. It would be neat if there was a raspberry pi shutdown link embedded on the hotspot's home page. https://github.com/offspot/base-image https://github.com/offspot/kiwix-hotspot

Edit: it actually is a feature request and has been scheduled for the next milestone.

This update is fairly important as it corrects a number of limitations that were on Raspberry Hotspots. The full changelog is here but here's what really matters:

The FAQ indicates that RPi 4 manufactured from late 2020 on are not supported, but I also see that this ticket has been closed last week, so the upcoming 2.4 release should fix that.
