We really should just have a bot that automatically posts archive.ph links It's so useful in general and also helps when the source site goes down under load.

- joshstrange 4y agoI'm fairly certain that HN forbids bots, it's not in the guidelines but I feel like I read that at some point or Dang said it. But I agree, a bot to do this would be nice. If I get into a paywalled article early enough that someone hasn't already done it I add a link but automated or built into the UI itself would be nice. Along side: `cached | flag | hide | past | favorite | X comments` it would be nice to have ` | archive ` or similar.
