In Show HN: OpenAPI DevTools – Chrome extension that generates an API specNot related to the OP topic or zim but I was looking into archiving my bookmarks and other content like documentation sites and wikis. I'll list some of the things I ended up using.
ArchiveBox[1]: Pretty much a self-hosted wayback machine. It can save websites as plain html, screenshot, text, and some other formats. I have my bookmarks archived in it and have a bookmarklet to easily add new websites to it. If you use the docker-compose you can enable a full-text search backend for an easy search setup.
WebRecorder[2]: A browser extension that creates WACZ archives directly in the browser capturing exactly what content you load. I use it on sites with annoying dynamic content that sites like wayback and ArchiveBox wouldn't be able to copy.
ReplayWeb[3]: An interface to browse archive types like WARC, WACZ, and HAR. The interface is just li

ke browsing through your browser. It can be self-hosted as well for the full offline experience.
browsertrix-crawler[4]: A CLI tool to scrape websites and output to WACZ. Its super easy to run with Docker and I use it to scrape entire blogs and docs for offline use. It uses Chrome to load webpages and has some extra features like custom browser profiles, interactive login, and autoscroll/autoplay. I use the `--generateWACZ` parameter so I can use ReplayWeb to easily browse through the final output.
For bookmark and misc webpage archiving then ArchiveBox should be more than enough. Check out this repo for an amazing list of tools and resources https://github.com/iipc/awesome-web-archiving

In Wayback Machine was downWhile what you say is true, the above method is the only method to archive arbitrary web pages. Yes it depends on user interactions to some extent, but it's possible to reasonably let a page load until fetches stop, and consider it rendered. Generally speaking, you can only archive some preset interactions with a modern web page. You can't hope to capture it all.
There are tools like WebRecorder[0] that do this to some extent by recording and replaying all requests. It's certainly a step in the right direction and demonstrates that the approach is viable. This was the only approach I tried that worked for archiving stuff like three.js demos. Worth mentioning there's also an Awesome list[1] that covers various web archival technologies.
