  Description     : Offline reader for ZIM files 

Web Archives is an offline reader for dumps of online contents like
Wikipedia, Wikisource etc., suitable both for desktop and mobile form
factors.

I've found the app on
https://linuxphoneapps.org/apps/com.github.birros.webarchives/ (which is
where I take the “suitable for mobile” data from).

While Debian already has kiwix, on mobile (modian / pinephone) it has
some UI issues, so it would be nice to have another option.

Also, having an alternative ZIM reader (as opposed to both 0 and 10) is
useful to get a hint whether some issue in certain ZIM files come from
the file itself or a bug in the reader.
