Stack Overflow announces the launch of an offline version, which can check for code errors without the Internet.
CTOnews.com Oct. 23-Stack Overflow, a well-known programmer Q & A site, has announced an offline version that provides a database of code questions for programmers who can't connect to the Internet.
Stack Overflow is working with the nonprofit Kiwix to ensure the latest version of the dataset is easily accessible to those who need it, and will work to improve its readability and reduce its size. Stack Overflow said that the offline version of the application scenarios are prisons, Antarctic research stations, university education in areas where Internet access is scarce, etc.
Stack Overflow now has more than 20 million questions and answers, and they're growing, and they can be a valuable resource.
Kiwix built Sotoki (Stack Overflow to Kiwix) crawler to get every site in Stack Exchange website.
CTOnews.com learned that Kiwix is a nonprofit that makes highly compressed copies of websites, and its Kiwix software compresses websites into a single (.zim) file. Zim files are small enough to be stored on a user's phone or computer.
Kiwix is like a normal browser that can read (.zim) files, and people with no or limited internet access can enjoy the same browsing experience as everyone else. The software and its content are completely open source and free to use and share.
