archive your own explored part of the web

# Rough Idea

• implement a service
  • that given a page url -> serve the backed up page
  • that give a parge url -> backed up the page
• need a web extension
  • that can toggle archive mode (store a specific page in archive)
  • when browsing, ping the archive to know if archive exist / is up to date

Page could be stored as Zim or SingleFile (compressed html)

# Firefox Extension

Extension have limitations and cannot gives complete access to filesystem. To go beyond what extensions allow (e.g., writing anywhere on disk), you’d need a native application that the extension communicates with via Native Messaging.

This allows the browser to send data to a background executable which can write to disk freely.

see CG Local as an example.
