Wikipedia On A Cheap Yellow Display

A hobbyist project puts an entire offline Wikipedia onto the Cheap Yellow Display (CYD), a low-cost board built around an ESP32 microcontroller with a resistive touchscreen and SD card slot. The build processes Kiwix's offline Wikipedia dumps into a custom format readable by browser firmware running on the ESP32, storing the whole encyclopedia including images on an SD card. The creator previously built an ESP32 web browser, and this project extends that work for fully offline knowledge access at the network edge.
