Offline Encyclopaedia

Post by ChristopheF »

Since the beginning, I have an "Offline Encyclopaedia" feature on my web site that allows visitors to easily download all the contents of the web site for offline browsing.

I would like to know how people feel about it: is it useful or is it useless?

I have found it useful in the past, but I rarely use the offline version since I got broadband. It's just as easy to surf the site while online. I can imagine those using modems would find it useful though.

Even with broadband I find fully downloaded pdf files much more handy than having to select every singly page in a browser, so I would like you to keep it.

If your site is down for whatever reasons or when you cannot enter it, then it is quite useful to have an offline version at hand;
for reference of spells, items, monsters, skills
But i rely on being online.

Seeing the results of this poll comforts me in the usefulness of the offline encyclopaedia, so it will be kept in place.
And yes I plan an update, in fact I have been working a lot on this in the past weeks. I don't give any release date but it may not be long from now.
