We've been pushing really hard over the last 6mo to develop this release. I'd love to hear feedback from people who've worked on big plugin systems in the past, or anyone who's tried our betas!

I've been using an instance of https://readeck.org/ for personal archives of web pages and I really like it, but I might try out ArchiveBox at some point too.

I also run an instance of ArchiveTeam Warrior which is constantly uploading things to archive.org, and I like the direction ArchiveBox is heading with the distributed/federated archiving on the roadmap, so I may end up setting up an instance like that even if I don't use it for personal content.

I've been using the Single File extension to save self-contained html files of pages I want to keep for posterity. I like it because any browser can open the files it creates. Is it easy to view the archive files from readeck? I haven't looked at fancier alternatives to my existing solution.

Readeck saves a page as a zip file. It's not hard to open from the command line or file manager, just unzip and launch the index.html in the web browser.

But it strips out a lot of detail. Zipping it also means that it's hard to deduplicate. I use WebScrapBook and run rdfind to hardlink all the identical files.
