I built Obsidian Web Clipper (open source, MIT) to replace my read-it-later app and save everything to local markdown files. Now that Obsidian Bases is available, it makes for a very nice web archival tool and reading experience. Here's a video:

You can use Web Clipper with any app that supports Markdown, not just Obsidian.

Defuddle is the underlying HTML-to-Markdown library I made for Web Clipper, and can also be used as a CLI:

Do you have a trick for getting the images as well, as opposed to them being links to the remotely hosted?

I think that is just a convenient way to do it with markdown.

Theoretically you could embed images in markdown with 'data:' scheme. But I am unless it is very small images it will probably not be very efficient to embedded the data in a text file.
