I’m convinced that the multitude of off-line Internet tools is a ploy to keep any one of them from gaining traction

The ones mentioned in this thread all use Kiwix for off-line wikipedia, OSM for maps, Khan for educational videos. It looks like internet-in-a-box is aimed at working well on low-powered devices, whereas nomad expects beefy hardware and includes local AI. Not sure how WROLPi differs from internet-in-a-box.

Maybe it's like linux distros: all based on the same software, but optimized for different use-cases or preferences.
