I just wanna cache all my bookmarks, I rarely look at them, but when I do go look at them, a good chunk tend to have rotted. It will be awesome to cache all my bookmarks and then have option to recursively cache the path I'm in. I don't want to cache every page I visit, 90% is junk.

>have option to recursively cache the path I'm in It's interesting, what do you mean by that?

so if I'm viewing http://example.com/foo/bar.html I might want to cache not just /foo/bar.html but everything underneath /foo/ path

I miss RSS primarily because I was able to search for stuff either I've read or I care about... I am too embarrassed to admit that a disproportionate amount of my time are spent on looking for a sentence or god forbid a tweet I vaguely remember reading last week. SO yes, consider this a vote for that sexy full text search please.

I've had exactly the same experience! Full text search on history would be amazing, especially when doing research.

https://ArchiveBox.io is optimized for archiving your bookmarks. You can feed them in from a service like Pocket/Pinboard or use browser bookmarks.

Anyone know of something like this that can sit on a network, possibly as a web proxy?

Webrecorder.io is the one you want if you're looking for a proxy archiver. PYWB (the underlying library) is by far the best proxy archiver around imo.

I am coding my own hacked together bookmarks manager. I can save any page with a click of the button using SingleFile (a fantastic Chrome extension, by the way!). Then a cronjob runs and puts it into a folder to be processed into a database, which generates a static html index and puts it in my Google Drive. Then it syncs offline on my chromebook. Which means that without internet, I can put my chromebook in tablet m…

Your hacked together workflow sounds extremely close to how ArchiveBox works! You should give it a try ;)

Very interesting project. I wish this was actually (optional) built-in behavior for browsers when bookmarking pages, or at least when adding to a "read later" list like Pocket/Instapaper etc. Pocket seems to offer something like this, but only in the premium version, so the "permanent archive" ironically seems to go away when unsubscribing. As a workaround, what if bookmarking a (public) page could actually ping it t…

ArchiveBox also saves every page to archive.org by default.

I have a project https://www.github.com/dhamaniasad/crestify that does the archival to archive.org and archive.today, you might find it useful

There's also https://github.com/oduwsdl/archivenow which supports a bunch of different archiving platforms.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Firefox still has it under File.

Sure, but does it do anything?

Yes, it disables access to remote resources:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1263417

So if you have a local web server (like on localhost), you'll still be able to access it, but you won't be able to access non-local IPs.
