Wikipedia is pretty large now, even for text only versions. So the most recommended option to download/read an offline version is by using “Kiwix”.

Kiwix is a reader designed to open and operate archived websites like Wikipedia that are stored in a .zim (think z-file compression but for websites).

Kiwix is open sourced and readers can be installed on your pc, phones, self-hosted as a website, etc.

You can check out their Kiwix library for a list of curated zim’s beyond Wikipedia that are updated on a schedule

You can also use their zimit tool to archive websites on your own as well.

It took a day for me to grasp all these concepts since they were designed mostly for Wikipedia archival purposes but it’s amazing how robust the tools and community are.

You mean giving him an easily scrape-able database of my social media interactions and interests/internet footprint via junk mail lists/marketing ads from sites I visit and sign up for?

Thank you but I’m personally going to pass.

Yeah I think he just shared the .com domain and wasn’t thinking about it/aware which is why he edited his comment and just linked to the GitHub page.

It’s really annoying, because the .com address is the top result on Google too when you search for Actual Budget.

Actualbudget.com =/= actualbudget.org

Originally the project was a closed source budgeting app to compete against YNAB on privacy and cost but the developer got overwhelmed and decided to open source the project.

I can’t remember all the details why the project doesn’t have access to the .com domain still, but you can use the .org site to see the details/source code. (You can also see the .com address hasn’t been updated, and still has the original 2020 copyright date)
