This could also be an interesting alternative to PDF, especially with web fonts embedded as data URLs.

We'll bring it back, don't you worry!

The idea is almost identical, yet saving as .webarchive is only supported by Safari, and it's also not a plaintext format, hence can't be edited as easily.

Oh, thank you kindly.

That's an interesting question. I think it depends on how the given modal is implemented, but closing them should technically work (unless the page is saved with JavaScript code removed [-j flag]). Those notifications can easily be removed from the saved file using any text editor, should be pretty easy if you know how to edit HTML code. I don't think removing it would violate anything since "this website" will no longer really be a website but rather a local document at that point.

I think there's an issue with opening a tar file, e.g. if sent to someone who needs to view the document but isn't techy.

It seems to me that having one file that any browser can easily open (and not require Internet connection to view) is a big advantage over having a directory with assets alongside the .html file. It may be one of those things that make things easier yet nobody really complains about how things are usually done when the page gets saved. I hope more browsers add support for saving pages as MHTML in the nearest future so that we wouldn't need tools like this one.

Good points, thank you for the review. I'll work on enhancing the readme file to be more informative.

Apparently everybody knew about MHTML but me Ü I'm going to look into that format and see if I could enhance monolith to output proper MHTML, among other additions and improvements. Thank you for the info!

Thank you! It's pretty straight-forward: this program just retrieves assets and converts them into data-URLs (data:...), then replaces the original href/src attribute value, so in case with the same image being linked multiple times, monolith will for sure bloat the output with the same base64 data, correct. I haven't looked into MHTMTL, ashamed to admit it's the first time I'm hearing about that format. I need to do some research, maybe I could improve monolith to overcome issues related to file size, thank you for the tip!

And about Rust: I think you're way ahead of me here as well, this is my first Rust program. If you're talking about it embedding some debug info into the binary which may include things like /home/dataflow then perhaps there's a compiler option for cargo or a way to strip the binary after it's compiled. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sorry, that's the best I can tell at the moment.

Thank you! I'll add it as an issue, since it could definitely be useful for "archiving" certain resources more than 1 level deep. Do you remember the name of that tool by any chance?

"And so it happens that the person who reads a great deal — that is to say, almost the whole day, and recreates himself by spending the intervals in thoughtless diversion, gradually loses the ability to think for himself; just as a man who is always riding at last forgets how to walk."

Wrote a small desktop notepad to keep all my tasks, goals, and notes in it: https://github.com/Y2Z/Doer

I imagine some being ready to sacrifice performance and going with ARMv8 for them not being flawed with technologies such as Intel AMT.

Go for gaming PCs/laptops. It's the same with clothes today: you can get the "survival/military" type of outwear which is better in quality and tend to last longer than usual outwear. You will look like a show-off, but in reality it's where the jean companies used to be when they first appeared (they used to be made for gold miners and construction workers). I would get something like Aorus X3 or Razer Blade Stealth, both feature really good screens and great hardware. Also seem to be well-engineered, unlike those plastic toys from Dell, Lenovo and all the others.
