The "pin" could be the new form of "bookmark" where you're almost guaranteed to never loose the page that you bookmarked

- MrEldritch 8y agoThere's plenty of media/webpages I'd love to "save offline" on WiFi so I could then later access them without having to pay for mobile data (or access them at all on flights/road trips through areas with no phone service)
- ghthor 8y agoThis is the dream all us IPFS/decentralization nuthouses are chasing.
- zaarn 8y agoIdunno, "Save as HTML..." seems to go for that dream pretty well. And lots of other sites utilize service workers fairly well to work offline.
- imtringued 8y agoSave as HTML is often completely broken. Especially when javascript injects <script> tags to load even more javascript. You're better off by using archive.org's wayback machine.
- zaarn 8y agoThere is a number of other offline tools available (google "archive team warc ecosystem"), they just need better integration.
- MrEldritch 8y ago(Note that I am aware that for many pages you can, in fact, do this already. Downloading HTML is a thing. I just meant that since I can already do this, it would be nice if I could both do this and have it integrate seamlessly with my browser for navigating links and host those files for other people while on WiFi I was at it)
