Make a package for KaiOS #396
Comments
I think this is right up @mossroy's street, as according to https://developer.kaiostech.com/ it is a fork of Boot to Gecko, which is a continuation of Firefox OS. There's a simulator. Can't seem to find much about the hardware it runs on. It says "feature phones". Oh, there's a Wikipedia article which lists four phones, including a Nokia. Interesting. |
I had a quick look at KaiOS. Technically, it seems to have the same APIs as Firefox OS, including the DeviceStorage API that allows to read files on the SD-card or internal memory. Unfortunately, it is not usable for now, because the UI would need to be reworked for a feature-phone.
To sum up, I'd say the backend (that reads the ZIM files) is most probably compatible as it is (but with an old browser engine, and certainly low-spec devices in terms of CPU, memory etc). |
Hmm, yes, it does look like it might have to be a separate app, rather than a packaging of Kiwix JS, because interface changes would be quite large. I think resource usage might be a worry too. |
Thank you very much @mossroy for the detailed analysis. I suspect as we do not have immediate plans and as the work to port it would be important, I should probably close that ticket. We could use this as a statment for further discussions - if needed. |
Seems to be an OS based on FirefoxOS
