Using static websites for tiny archives

I copy the images in my clipboard and save them in an HTML file to have single-file galleries:

Live:

Selecting via file-picker works too. Dragging usually does not. When all works, images are inserted inline as blobs.

After adding images, if you save the page (literally file->save), the blobs are saved together. don't want a part when saving (for example, removing images)? inspect element, remove, save page.

throw the page on some server or just double click on your computer/mobile.

Love it! True to the original vision of the WWW. Tim Berners-Lee's WorldWideWeb browser was also an editor.

https://github.com/cadars/john-doe gives me the same feels.

That is slick. Offline first in the truest sense.

Very cool design! note if you can't get it to work, make sure you set file type to complete webpage when saving.

That's really neat!

You could add a "Download this page" button on the page which does some tricks to produce an HTML file with the images baked in that the user can download, which could work on mobile.

Here's a quick prototype: https://gistpreview.github.io/?14a2c3ef508839f26377707dbf5dd... - code here: https://gist.github.com/simonw/14a2c3ef508839f26377707dbf5dd...
