Comments about Kiwix as an Alternative to Wikipedia
It's a good alternative (but it's an app, not a site), as it's offline Wikipedia. But they made weird choices because they chose the .zim extension for their archive. That's weird and everything but handy. And they should add a way to download only some articles, and turning them into .pdf or .epub, it would make the application really modern and handy!

It's a great tool for accessing such content offline, but not a true alternative. More of a compliment
