- URfejk 5y agoDoes anyone know of something like this, but for Android?
- MerelyMortal 5y agoDoes anyone know of something like this, but saves in searchable html, and works on Linux? (I imagine a Firefox extension could probably do this.) I see lots of things where you have to click-to-save, but nothing automatic.
- kseistrup 5y agoSomething like this, yes: nb ⌘ https://github.com/xwmx/nb https://github.com/xwmx/nb Do an `nb $URL` in the CLI and `nb` will save the data as a markdown file in a collection managed by `git`. You can then e.g. `nb search` to find what you're looking for, or `nb browse` to see a rendered version of the markdown in a browser of your choice.
- sackofmugs 5y agoThat's another manual method. There's nothing that automatically gets every single page you go to. And nb would only work for stateless pages anyways.
- kseistrup 5y agoCorrect
- cycomanic 5y agoI was looking into this a while ago, there are a couple of solutions (all of them not perfect unfortunately IMO). https://archivy.github.io/ https://archivy.github.io/ https://perkeep.org/ https://perkeep.org/ https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori Are three of them
- MerelyMortal 5y agoNone of those websites say they do what I'm asking. Did you try them out? (How do you know?) If they do what I'm asking, their websites aren't that good if I can't figure that out by reading them.
- rendx 5y agoperhaps this? https://github.com/i5ik/22120 https://github.com/i5ik/22120
- MerelyMortal 5y agoIt looks like this is the closest thing, thank you.

- lambdaba 5y agoI gotchu fam: https://github.com/Y2Z/monolith https://github.com/Y2Z/monolith Note: this bundles external resources like images, css and scripts inside the file
- overeater 5y agoI don't think this is automatic is it? So you have to save each page you want
- lambdaba 5y agoOh, true, I missed that. In chrome it would be quite trivial to tail the history read from the sqlite db and get the latest url, and frankly something like Archivebox would be more powerful (truly grabbing all resources). Unfortunately in Firefox it's not possible to tail the history without unlocking the database, so the solution would be slightly more hackish but still feasible. For illustration, this is the script I use to grab Chrome history: profile=$HOME/.config/google-chrome/Default sqlite3 "file:$profile/History?immutable=1" \ "select datetime(last_visit_time/1000000-11644473600, 'unixepoch'), url from urls order by last_visit_time asc" It would be pretty easy to use `watch` or `inotifywait` to do this regularly and call Archivebox with the new urls.
- tedmiston 5y agoArchiveBox is popular - https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox
- MerelyMortal 5y agoIt pulls URLs from your history, and downloads them later. It doesn't download what you see, so if you're logged in somewhere, it won't be able to save that; or if content changes between when you see it and it gets scraped, it won't know.
- tedmiston 5y agoThe use case you raise makes a lot of sense, especially on sites with paywalls or where you have paid accounts. I haven't explored this route personally yet, but it may be possible to copy cookies from your browser cookie jar over if that would satisfy your use case. https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Configuration#chrome_user_data_dir https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Configuration#...
