Hi, I'm lead dev at Kiwix and maintain also the openZIM project. I'm really happy to see your effort starting. Not only because this offers a solution to read ZIM files on an additional system but also because we plan to rewrite our desktop port (OSX/Win/Linux) using Qt and that's what you use. I see that you have rewritten a lot from scratch (you don't seem to reuse neither the zimlib nor the Kiwx HTTP server kiwix-serve), may I ask why? Anyway, you are more than welcome to talked about Zimpedia on #kiwix IRC channel (Freenode), I would be really happy to exchange with you about these topics.

Thank you for your words of encouragement. I really appreciate and admire what You are doing in the Kiwix and openZIM projects. Glad to hear that you are thinking about Qt because Qt is super cool :-)

Zimpedia is definitely not written from scratch. It actually completely relies on zimlib and qhttpserver. To be honest, my contribution was rather modest. I did only QML GUI with addition of few lines of C++ to glue HTTP server and zimlib. Everything was possible because openZIM team work. Thank you for that.

PS: I've updated Readme to include info about zimlib and OpenZIM.
