bionic-speed-reader-browser-extension VS SingleFile

Found an API for Chrome: https://github.com/kwame-mintah/bionic-reading-chrome-extension

* I really just want pocket as a bookmarking tool than the web reader. The web reader works, but it's very bad in cases with a lot of embeds/code snippets. If a site is pay-walled, only a small section is available in Pocket. I usually open the actual page in this case than read in pocket.

* Some links I added a long time ago are permanently lost because the original page got taken down. It'd be much better if a permanent snapshot was taken(including all the images, this is pretty easy to do with something like https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile) of the page and is available even if the original page is lost.

Yeah, I was disappointed with the mention only of webrecorder (nice effort, but not for everyone) and zero mention of projects like Archivebox ( https://Archivebox.io ) or Singlefile ( https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile/ )

SingleFile respects your privacy, you can find the privacy policy here [1].

I use https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile

I set it to tolerate longer processing times, and to open the file after saving so I can sanity check that it got everything. Works great at faithfully saving a page with images as it appears in browser, and saves so much time.

You might also have a look at https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox

You may want to try SingleFile:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/single-file/?...

This looks nice.

Sorry for off-loading the research to you but how does it compare to SingleFile (Chrome extension based)? I can't tell what the output would be.

Something like ArchiveBox or SingleFile are in the same ballpark of tools, but both seem to eschew Safari Webarchive as a format.

> But I don't think they're around anymore and have no idea how you could achieve similar functionality with dynamic pages anyway.

Chromium's MHTML "Save as…" and the SingleFile WebExtension should both save copies of the rendered DOM.

Apparently Safari has WebArchive and Mozilla had MAFF for similar use cases.

I think WARC is supposed to save enough data about network streams for dynamic pages to work. At least on the Wayback Machine, infinite scrolling and "Load More" buttons do kinda work sometimes. You may have to load the archived pages in a browser and try to use each dynamic feature at least once, to trigger requests for needed resources.

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.
