It's basically an offline browser where you can capture full HTML pages locally including the iframes, and tag and annotate the content.
I should have cloud sync support in the next release (1-2 weeks) which will allow you to keep your data in the cloud and sync it between machines. Initially it will just support Firebase but I have plans to support other cloud providers via plugins.
I'd also like to support end to end encryption so that you don't have to worry about people reading your data.

A semi-requested feature is full recursive archival of content but I don't think we're going to go in that direction. Instead I think we're going to support pasting or importing a list of URLs.
Many documentation sites have an 'index' of Table of Contents and this way I can just fetch and store all those URLs without over-fetching.
My background is search and I built a petabyte scale search service named Datastreamer (http://www.datastreamer.io/ http://www.datastreamer.io/). I'm also one of the inventors of RSS - so I have a lot of ideas on the roadmap here.
It also supports PDFs, text and area highlights, comments, flashcards and sync with Anki.
The initial response after our release has been amazing. The user base is really engaged with thousands of monthly active users and contributors.
Anyway. Take it for a spin. It's free and Open Source.
