    I think it’s time to get back to old habits. Back in my cyber café days (and after too, since internet was not as reliable here), I would save pages to view them later at home offline.

    Manual scrapping, basically.

    Getting the language reference/docs in HTML format, like I used to for PHP.

      One thing that is designed to be future-proof is MarkDown, I’ve been taking profesional and personal notes and exporting important information from web pages to markdown and hosting it on my own PC for a while.

      MarkDown it’s text based so you can have a huge amount of data with just a tiny bit of space. And it is easily translated/rendered as HTML. Apps like Logseq, Obsidian or Markor are good starts for managing huge vaults of information.

      I’m thinking that whe should create a MarkDown community here.

        Thanks a lot! You’re right, backing up with MarkDown is much better.

        You just reminded me of an old software I used to use, called WikidPad. It had some sort of MarkDown and it was FOSS. It was great for making portable/offline wikis.

          There’s plenty of software designed to store personal wikis and info in markdown, if you are interested checkout Obsidian, Logseq and Jopling (in that order for me)
