CLUSTER OFFLINE-INTERNET-WITHOUT · 17 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2010-04-01
Offline web and archive readers
These products form a cluster of offline-first readers and archivers for web pages, e-books, ZIM archives, and personal files. Entries appear sporadically from April 2010 to July 2026, with at most one new product per month, giving the timeline a thin, long-tail shape rather than a clear trend. Traction is minimal overall, with 'satchel' leading at 1 star, while other dated products have 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
