Ask HN: How to save bookmarks locally including searchable content?

• BookStack

  312 13,833 9.6 PHP

  A platform to create documentation/wiki content built with PHP & Laravel

  

Decade ago I just copy-pasted the page/content of the page to OneNote. Worked good enough.

A couple years ago I discovered Bookstack's [0] editor was capable to keep the most of the formatting for the Word documents and most of the sane pages, looks like it still works [1][2]

It didn't manage to save the whole old.reddit.com page, but I tried this on a official demo, of course it could be just limited resources.

• SingleFile

  94 13,721 9.6 JavaScript

  Web Extension for saving a faithful copy of a complete web page in a single HTML file

I use SingleFile [0] in the browser:

"SingleFile is a Web Extension (and a CLI tool) compatible with Chrome, Firefox (Desktop and Mobile), Microsoft Edge, Vivaldi, Brave, Waterfox, Yandex browser, and Opera. It helps you to save a complete web page into a single HTML file."

I really like and often use the option to highlight text and add notes to a web page before saving it locally. After saving the file you can easily do a full-text search because, e.g., both macOS Finder and Windows Explorer index HTML files by default.
