Ask HN: Anyone interested in an offline version of Stack Overflow?

Hi, Rafael here from https://curiosity.ai. I was just talking to someone today that works in a restrictive IT environment (no internet), and the person mentioned how annoying it is to not have access to Stack Overflow. There is an open source project on GitHub (https://github.com/tools4j/stacked-off) that seems to provide an offline server using the public dumps, but this person found it a bit cumbersome to work with. As we build a desktop search app, we could add an offline Stack Overflow integration. I was curious (!) if anyone would be interested before taking the effort to build it. WDYT?
