#43Try this: CTRL+A CTRL+C on a simple-ish site, then paste on itty bitty. Works surprisingly well - with the exception of images not rendering.
Super quick static mirroring. I like.
Edit: tabular format is preserved as well - copy paste from Excel :ok_hand:
Edit: Bookmarked! I'm going to use this for sure.
Idea: A javascript bookmarklet of some sort may be nice here. Maybe "create itty.bitty site from current selection" or "... from entire page"?

Links are functioning BTW.

#45It does require Javascript to render.

#46Nice one. https://boutell.com/newfaq/misc/urllength.html JS-Fat-site shaming by link.
huh. I know a lot of early buffer overflows came via the URL back in the early 2000s and early IE days. I can understand why there shouldn't be a theoretical limit today, at least until your machine would run out of resources. 32GB url anyone?

#49This is neat! My second reaction (after "awesome!") was that I'd love for this to support some kind of optional identifier+hmac functionality. That's not necessary for when you are fully in control of where people get the links of course, but as soon as someone starts sharing links to "your" content they can by definition modify it as well. It'd be cool if I could share a page that says "by chias" and that can prove…
you could just sign your content yourself using a publicly known key (e.g. keybase.io)
Support for keys as a separate content "field" could be added to itty bitty i suppose?

#50I wonder how large a website using this scheme can practically be to work on most browsers. I know of at least one browser that limited URLs to 100 characters, but it's almost 30 years old…
While most sites/apps support about 2000 bytes (2KB), some can handle more... Twitter and Slack, for example, allow 4000 bytes in a link. 4000 bytes is enough to apparently encode the full text of Poe's The Raven . https://twitter.com/edgar_the_poe/status/1003524516440563712
The HN frontpage bitty that I posted in another comment is around 8K. [1]
I also did a reddit one that works on my browsers[2] (copy/paste URL into new tab) at 26K (!). Which is apparently too much for HN. (Where's my free 5GB of storage for signing up?!)
