Seconding Webrecorder (and the newly updated WAIL) - I had the chance of meeting Ilya Kremer at a conference a few weeks ago, and I can confirm what he's doing is top notch - I'm hoping to see more work around WARC viewing and sharing in the future.
(Disclaimer: I also do personal archiving stuff with getkumbu)
- amrrs 9y agoIs offline playback still relevant in the age of ubiquitous always connected Internet?
- kchr 9y agoIf your intention is to have a local archive of an online site, yes.
- WhiteOwlLion 9y agoIn my use case, some content is only available for a short window. If I want to refer to it, the URL will not work. This happens to me a lot of Wikipedia where a referenced URL is no longer working (linkrot). We need to a better way to track previous versions or access 404 pages that were previously alive.
- an27 9y agoDefinitely, sites and content become inaccessible all the time. For instance, I back up all new videos of my favorite YouTubers in case they are taken down (e.g. in the case of a copyright claim).
- johnaberlin 9y agoHi motdiem, Thank you for seconding the newly updated WAIL. I am the maintainer/creator of the newly update WAIL (the Electron version) https://github.com/N0taN3rd/wail https://github.com/N0taN3rd/wail I was unable to attend IIPC Web Archiving Conference (WAC) but the original creator of WAIL(Python) Mat Kelly did attend (we both are apart of the same research group WSDL). If you or anyone else have any questions about WAIL I am more than happy to answer them.
