SingleFile VS percollate

That's interesting. I have been saving articles as PDF files, which is browser-independent, but useful just for search and reference, a nuisance to quote/copy-and-paste.

If I search only the computer, I don't get results from EBay and Amazon at the top. The idea of keeping the knowledge base separate from the primary notes is a good idea. In my case, that knowledge base is the file system, and the primary notes are whatever I choose.

When I was using Evernote, the inbox was the knowledge base and notebooks were the focus. I just had too many different potential projects going on to manage this well.

Looking to focus.

I'll revisit Firefox and SingleFile.

I agree it would be "great" a complete website in the ZIP. I think this is technically possible, someone just have to code it.

Singlefile [1] works pretty well for me for that use case.

It has the added advantage that the file format is just plain HTML, and together with “reader mode” in most browsers, it’s a great way to save long-form text or other mostly static pages for later reference.

It obviously doesn’t work for very dynamic pages, let alone web apps.

I’ve tried all the third party services for archiving interesting things over the years but nothing beats saving everything to your local filesystem using [SingleFile](https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile) and using a full-text search front over the directory (something like Houdahspot, for example).

If you want to save them as a file locally you could use something like SingleFile. You could also put the URL for each wiki into archive.org's Save Page Now so that anyone can access it. Either way, without scripting, you'll have to do some manual labor to get the URL for each wiki.

For small numbers of pages, the SingleFile[0] extension for Firefox (WebExtension) is pretty handy. It's not "archival quality", though, if that's the kind of "archiving" you're doing.

You can still choose automation. The easier route for me is to use wallabag to save the article. Then on my remarkable tablet I can grab a very readable document with https://github.com/koreader/koreader.

The other option is to use https://github.com/danburzo/percollate to convert a webpage to a nice document directly. I use both tools depending on my needs.

This function is just a simple combination with yt-dlp and percollate.

If someone hasn't already done this and I can't figure out how they are converting HTML, I have also considered using Percollate to convert, then sending to ReMarkable via rmapi.

The Cli Tool Percollate offers a different approach, but is also very good: https://github.com/danburzo/percollate

Concerning pdf there is the well known wkhtmltopdf , but let me say that I love the not so well known percollate

Since I'm working on a similar project, this is how I am planning to pull content from the web, utilizing percollate[1] to get the HTML content, I haven't written any implementation for this in Python yet.

If you don't mind me asking, how were you going to implement spaced repetition? Since the Incremental Reading algorithm has never been published as far as I know.
