Ask HN: Best way to bundle as HTML? Maybe even vids included

3 points by bammmmm 7y ago

Is there a way to make a rich HTML page self-containing? I love html, pdf not so much. I also love epub, but it has narrow uses. Existing HTML embedding in to HTML is possible, but Data URI has a 2MB limit on Chrome I think. Maybe a blob helps? Is there any way I could bundle/pack all scripts, images and maybe videos in to an html in a sane way? Is this feasible at all? I guess browsers might load the html in to RAM, that could be a problem.

Something like an Electron app but lighter? How would you be distributing this? https://electronjs.org/ https://electronjs.org/

  I'd attach it to an email or send it over slack and hope html opens with a sane browser on the other end :) more like https://github.com/remy/inliner https://github.com/remy/inliner or https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/single-file/ https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/single-file/ But I guess these have the 2MB limit and I don't know if maybe more limits.
