What Is LocalOverflow?

LocalOverflow is a local web-app that downloads any stack-exchange site, for example Stack Overflow or Ask Ubuntu, and makes it available to instantly search, explore, all while offline (including images).

So I built a tool where I can take all the data I need with me where ever I go.

There have been a few previous attempts which helped inspire this work, listed below. However for my purposes they fall short in speed, usability, or resource usage.
