What does HackerNews think of SingleFile?
Web Extension for Firefox/Chrome/MS Edge and CLI tool to save a faithful copy of an entire web page in a single HTML file
Language:
JavaScript
I’ve tried all the third party services for archiving interesting things over the years but nothing beats saving everything to your local filesystem using [SingleFile](https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile) and using a full-text search frontend over the directory (something like Houdahspot, for example).
SingleFile even has an iOS extension (and easySearch is very nice for iOS search - although not quite as nice as a desktop experience, owing to iOS limitations).
Lots of detailed info in the github repo
The auto-save feature of SingleFile browser extension [1] allows you to do this. You will just need to adjust the settings to change the delay after which the page is automatically saved. SingleFileZ [2] can also do this and produce full-text searchable archives.
And if you're only interested in preserving just some Wiki pages, this browser extension with some automation on top will do the perfect job: https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile
No affiliation, just a happy user :)
Save webpages offline as HTML (resources inlined, even things like iframes and web components) https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile
SingleFile [1] includes a simple annotation editor that allows you to highlight text and add notes in saved pages.
> I didn't wanted to install an extension to the browser to do that (for privacy reasons)
SingleFile [1] is an open source browser extension that saves the webpage as a single offline HTML page. I personally prefer this to screenshots because you can do things like select text in the saved HTML page. Also if you don't trust the chrome web store or firefox addon repo, you can download the extension directly from Github.

Pretty neat extension!
