Some people use this tool (of mine) for saving web content from either bookmarks or just everything you browse: https://github.com/crisdosyago/Diskernet

There's also plent¥ of other similar tools:

- https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox

- https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile

> Coming to a future release, soon!: The ability to publish your own search engine that you curated with the best resources based on your expert knowledge and experience.

This would be fantastic, being able to browse a curated internet made of accumulated lists from other trusted users on the net, similar to how ad blocking lists work today.

You are genuinely trying to steer the internet into what it used to be: a museum of knowledge and expert discussion.

Edit: Ah but wow, Polyform license. Huh.

How have I never seen your tool before.

>22120 archives content exactly as it is received and presented by a browser, and it also replays that content exactly as if the resource were being taken from online.

I've been looking for this for a really long time.

Beware the very strange and bad license for Diskernet, which is "Polyform Strict License 1.0.0"

Thank you for raising concerns about the licensing of Diskernet. I understand that the Polyform Strict License 1.0.0 may be unfamiliar to some users, but I believe that it offers several benefits.

First, my licensing protects my rights as the creator of Diskernet. I want to ensure that my hard work is not used or modified without my permission, especially in commercial settings. I believe this is a fair and reasonable request.

Second, my licensing allows individuals to use Diskernet for free for personal use. This means that anyone can download and use the tool to improve their own browsing experience, without any cost or obligation.

Third, my licensing allows businesses and organizations to purchase a license and use Diskernet for their own purposes. This allows me to continue improving and supporting the tool, while also providing businesses with a valuable tool for archiving and organizing their online content.

I understand that the Polyform Strict License may not be the most common licensing approach, but I believe it offers a good balance between the interests of the open source community and my rights as the creator of Diskernet. I hope you will consider giving my tool a try, and I believe you'll find it to be a valuable addition to your online browsing experience.

That Polyform licence looks truly awful. Lack of mention of how I could use it while working.

> how I could use it while working.

The readme clearly links where to buy a license for that.

I'd never heard of SingleFile before but it looks excellent. It would be great if Firefox could incorporate it into its save function too. Firefox save page works but as shown on the SingleFile demo video, it's not really what a user would expect, it's often not complete and splitting it across multiple files/directories isn't ideal either.

It's unfortunate as Firefox used to have excellent MHTML support (which similarly achieves an all-in-one file) via addons, particularly the feature-rich UnMHT. While Chromium and its derivatives support MHTML saving natively (and in the past Opera Presto and IE).

If they brought back MHTML saving support it'd be a great win.

Zotero also saves snapshots of pages if you already cite academic pages
