Ask HN: What apps would you install if there was an extended internet outage?
Here are a few of mine, for android since that's what I have.
* F-Droid
This is an obvious one, F-droid is an open source app store, it can also work peer-to-peer, so you can use this to install all the other apps on other peoples phones with no internet.
* Kiwix
Offline wikipedia reader, lets you download wikipedia
* Osmand
Offline mapping, lets you download maps
* Briar project
P2p "store and forward" messaging. Messages are encrypted and people can carry a message between communities.

Are there any apps you'd want to have available if there was a very long term internet outage? I imagine if that happened apps wouldn't be a very high priority, but it's something simple that can be done pretty easily.
