Awesome thing, but - > Can I use this with a browser that's not Chrome-based? > No. Note that a (rather similar) thing I've participated in in 2002 was browser-neutral.
yeah I was really excited until I got to that point.

but it might not happen. I'm only considering it and I will investigate. I'm sorry for you that you can't use it now.
Hello everyone! Thank you for the love I really appreciate it. I did not expect this to blow up like it has I got up this morning and it was sitting on front page and there's a lot more interest which is great. I feel sad for some people to see that they are having issues with the binaries/connecting to chrome, I will get to work on that today and hopefully have some resolutions pushed out in half a day, so please ch…
I remember seeing this on reddit, the license changed quite a lot over the past month, with some very weird custom licenses asking you not to be a fake victim, lie, etc in the process - https://github.com/c9fe/22120/commits/master/LICENSE - how safe is it to assume that the current license will stay?
Assuming good faith in the creator of this, it looks like they tried to type up something that they thought would cover their bases, then realized that wasn't right and copy/pasted in a real license.
It seems like the license went something like this:
MIT > Dual GPL/Custom license > No license > AGPL > No License/Commercial only > Custom license > Different custom license > License with a commercial pricing? > AGPL (3 days ago)
Most of this happening over the last few weeks, and the readme says it's dual licensed.
Cool concept. In a world that's getting increasingly connected what are the main use-cases? I ask because the dev tool that our company creates occasionally (okay, very rarely) gets a question about offline mode, and when I prod, it's usually just out of curiosity, not because they actually need it in real life.
This seems to geared towars "content goes down" scenarios, rather than "reader is temporarily offline". It's a concern I have every time I find a particularly interesting independently hosted blog post or article. The Internet Archive goes a long way towards making me worry about this less, though. (Let's just hope they don't go away!)
You can have archives from x day or x week or whatever, organized yourself, versioned with git, as you like, to save web content through version changes, removal or vanishing.

Thank YOU! And I want to ass that a Chrome extension is not a very internet friendly choice. Firefox needs all the love it can get these days. :)
But can we count on Firefox to stay relevant even if Mozilla fired most of the dev team?

Video files are massive, so it may just be the case that archiving videos takes so long they didn't want to support it.
That's also a consideration. And I haven't thought of a way to approach it where we get the nice sort of size of the archives that we have currently, and when adding video it would just balloon and I think that could be surprising so I haven't thought of a good approach to gel all that.
Very cool idea. I always bring my laptop with me camping in case I get the urge to write something. Having the ability to see the last week or so of my browsing history would have come in handy on more than one occasion.
That's also what I think. For keeping on planes, and keeping the past version alive as a local copy. But honestly I didn't create it for that reason I think. I can't remember exactly now without using my power to think about it more...but basically I think I created it to just see if it was possible. I was doing lots of work in Chrome DevTools at the time and the idea suddenly came to me, and I wanted to see if it wo…
I thought of some evil ones, like I know some people at my company that would love to be able to browse an employees past browsing history at their convenience.
It doesn't really need to be "offline" for that to work, but I can see that playing into calling it a security procedure rather than blatant overstepping.

I ran a BBS, my friend :) I'm quite familiar with modems. I just never used Windows (or the web!) until well past the Netscape era, so I'm not too familiar with the intersection of modems and early web browsers. > Netscape had integration with the modem connectivity for the OS and would initiate a connection when you tried to visit a remote page. That's not "integration with modem connectivity", that's just going thr…
I used to go into offline-mode so the browser would access pages from the cache when I went to their URLs. It wasn’t a ton, but it was enough that you could queue up a handful of sites, go offline and then, if you accidentally closed the tab, re-open it and see the caches version.

Haha, “tab” :)
