SingleFileZ

> Maybe a single HTML entrypoint shim with a bit of javascript that could index into an archive (potentially embedded) of the site's content? So something like SingleFileZ https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ or Gwtar https://gwern.net/gwtar ?

to the format supported by this extension https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ

You can do the same thing with SingleFileZ [1] which can protect saved pages with a password. It relies on the zip specification to store the encrypted resources (html, images, css, etc.). Here's an example of protected page saved with SingleFileZ: https://gildas-lormeau.github.io/private/ (password: thisisapage) [1] https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ

I’ve been using SingleFileZ. https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ

I agree that browsers should offer an API in order to get all the resources easily. It would make things much easier. However, for security reasons, this API would still be restricted to environments like Web Extensions or automation tools like Playwright. FYI, I also took another approach which might interest you, see https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ. The main drawback is that the HTML produced by SingleFileZ is not valid (but tolerated by the HTML5 spec.).

The auto-save feature of SingleFile browser extension [1] allows you to do this. You will just need to adjust the settings to change the delay after which the page is automatically saved. SingleFileZ [2] can also do this and produce full-text searchable archives. [1] https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile [2] https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ

Author here, it makes me really happy to see SIngleFile on the front page of HN. Thank you! I take the opportunity to make you aware of the upcoming impacts of the Manifest V3 [1], and for those who prefer zip files, I recommend you to have a look here [2].

Images are stored as data URIs [1]. Note that they could also be stored as entries in a zip file too! [2]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_URI_scheme [2] https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ

https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ saves to local disk everything on web page.

I would recommend you to take a look at SingleFileZ [1], it should remind you of something ;) [1] https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ

Seed word: SingleFileZ (a project of mine [1]) "SingleFileZ is currently our most likely word to cause a neural apocalypse." I'm thinking of using it as a punchline. [1] https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ

> nothing beats print-to-PDF. Its just awesome. HTML largely beats PDF for this use case. And if you want something that produces a file in which you can easily extract resources from the saved page, see [1]. There is an option to automatically save the pages you add to your bookmark. There's also an option to make the text of the files indexable without unzipping them. [1] https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFileZ
