    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.

  • Creating a Safari webarchive from the command line

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

    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.

  • How SingleFile Transformed My Obsidian Workflow

    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.

  • Pocket: It gets worse the more you use it

    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).
