I made this! I had an old website of mine (my old video game portafolio) that I wanted to bring back to life. I have no sources and no backups. But it was still on the Wayback Machine!

Thanks very much for this! I used it a few years ago to recover some lost content from my blog: https://simonwillison.net/2017/Oct/8/missing-content/ https://simonwillison.net/2017/Oct/8/missing-content/

Kudos for taking the time to write up a nice, clean, and concise readme. I don't know about everyone, but this makes all the difference in the world to me.

OMG. Thank you for making this (and thanks to the archive.org folks for scraping in the first place)! I used it to recover my old blog which is probably lying around somewhere on some HDD in a closet, but it's so nice to have it on GitHub now!

Thanks for writing it, I used it to recover part of one of the Debian conference websites. PS: could you merge my two pull requests? ;)
