Version 1.0.0

The first public release of webChronicle. A Node.js-based web archiver that saves snapshots of websites and serves them locally for offline browsing.

Features

• Archive any website with a single command
• Browse previous versions of pages you’ve saved
• Nothing leaves your computer — no cloud, no uploads, no telemetry
• Multiple domains in one snapshot run
• Recursive scraping — follows links to grab whole sites
• Overlay with archive date and back link, injected at serve time
• Eleventy templates for the index page
• JSON ledger index of all snapshots

Install

git clone https://github.com/freshjuice-dev/webchronicle.git
cd webchronicle
npm install
npm run scrape
npm run build
npm run serve

Tech

Node.js + Eleventy. System fonts, no frameworks.
