I never intended it to be a side project, I just liked the extension and started contributing heavily to it, to the point where I became the maintainer for the next several years.

I get about that amount per month in GitHub Sponsorships. Not nearly worth the amount of time I put into it, but it’s relatively effortless work. It makes my regular work on other GitHub projects more enjoyable (due to the features that Refined GitHub adds)

That's why I use this browser extension https://github.com/refined-github/refined-github

Refined GitHub extension

Install the https://github.com/refined-github/refined-github browser extension and you'll see whitespace hints everywhere in GitHub. Very helpful in code review.

github UI with https://github.com/refined-github/refined-github is pretty damn clean no?

Might be worth making a bounty for it in refined github[0], similar things have been implemented in the past[1]

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.
