Project mention: Building a personal archive of the web, the slow way | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-05-20
OP's workflow might be much more efficient with use of https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile/
It can handle most of what they describe for things like private/paywalled pages or media enclosures or completely self-contained archives that live locally or easy to use or editing before saving or ensuring lazy-loaded images are there, you can view it immediately to check for breakage, it automatically works with adblock and NoScript and when you delete stuff in the DOM using the picker so they can clean each page very efficiently (create a bunch of rules in your adblock by picking elements like in ublock, so you never have to do those again, then quickly mouse any remainder), and it stores the final DOM so you can interact with stuff to make sure it is visible or archived.
So what I do ( https://gwern.net/archiving#preemptive-local-archiving ) is I have a script which calls SingleFile-CLI in a headless Chrome browser to automatically archive everything, and then opens up the original URL + snapshot in my normal Firefox, and look at the snapshot then original. If the snapshot looks good, I simply close the 2 tabs after a few seconds and I'm done; if the snapshot looks bad, then I look at the original and make edits: use Ublock Origin to define any necessary rules (assuming the page isn't cleaned up by all the rules I previously defined), make any minor tweaks to the DOM, and then SingleFile-browser-extension it manually.
If you use enough adblock rules, then you get a similar effect to the 'templates' described, since it looks like OP is mostly just trying to remove as much as possible.
