User blog:JoshuaJSlone/H!P Wiki on Kindle

Hey guys. I made a little tool for myself that may or may not be of use to anyone else.

When away from home my main access to the Internet is a Kindle model from a few years ago. Wikia sites don't really load well onto it, even their mobile-specific skin. So I made one of my own. It basically takes the page and cuts off as much unnecessary stuff outside of the main article section as possible, with a few other changes done to make it a bit more presentable. It's both useful and still quite limited. Most regular pages, user pages, and the categories seem to work. But searches are out, there's no editing, and image-heavy pages can turn out pretty goofy. About as good as it needs to be for some quick data checking on the go.

To try it, go here, type in whatever page you want it to start you at, and hit Submit Query. The higher quality mode preserves just a little more of the code so pages look much closer to how they regularly would, though that's not always desirable on a grayscale Kindle.

Example output: Tachiagirl, Tachiagirl higher quality mode
