SingleFile
Save web pages as self-extracting HTML/ZIP hybrid files - github / SingleFileZ / HN
# File Format ⮺
The self-extracting ZIP files created by SingleFile are essentially regular ZIP files. They take advantage of the flexibility in the ZIP specification, which allows for additional data to be included before and after the ZIP payload. See this presentation for more info.
- save page as SingleFile and have their content usable as browser cache when offline.

- kage / HN - clones a website into a folder you can browse offline, with every script stripped out. It opens each page in real headless Chrome, waits for the page to settle, snapshots the DOM a human would have seen, then deletes all the JavaScript and pulls the CSS, images, and fonts down to local paths. What lands on disk looks like the live site and runs no code.
