Webclone.js – A simple tool to clone websites
I needed a lightweight way to archive documentation from a website. wget and similar tools failed to clone the site reliably (missing assets, broken links, etc.), so I ended up building a full website-cloning tool using Node.js + Puppeteer. Repo: https://github.com/jademsee/webclone Feedback, issues, and PRs are very welcome.

In plain words
Webclone.js is a Node.js tool that clones entire websites for archival purposes. Built with Puppeteer, it addresses limitations of traditional tools like wget by reliably capturing all assets and maintaining working links. The tool is designed for developers who need to preserve website documentation locally. It is available as open-source software on GitHub.

A Node.js script designed to archive websites and download videos. - jademsee/webclone
WebClone.js is a lean, asynchronous, and powerful command-line tool for creating complete, offline archives of websites. It crawls a site, saves all pages and assets (CSS, JS, images), rewrites links for local viewing, and can even detect and download videos from popular streaming platforms. This project was born out of a specific need to archive comprehensive documentation from a dynamic website. Traditional tools like wget proved insufficient for handling modern web complexities, often failing to download all assets or correctly rewrite internal links. With the assistance of Gemini, this tool was developed to address those challenges, providing a more robust and intelligent solution for…from github.com

I made a CLI tool to create web extensions with no build configuration2024 · github.com · ▲381Hello HN! I'm the creator and solo developer of Extension.js, a development tool for browser extensions with built-in support for TypeScript, WebAssembly, React, and modern JavaScript. Developers use it to spend less time configuring the compilation config or learning new frameworks and more time actually writing code. Most projects similar to Extension.js rely on some sort of abstraction or configuration to get started, making the initial development process slow given the extra learning curve and setup guidelines. By using Extension.js, adding the package to your npm scripts is all it…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
