Update Santa Poal is coming earlier this year and brings you his own self-hosted Poal archive service (currently Beta).

A new "Archive" button under the post's titles is now showing up and a few selected trustworthy users are now able to request an archive of posts that are worth archiving.

Pauline can archive a website's page as a single html file with all the images embedded as base64, then will post a sticky comment with the archive link, and will finally send a notification to both the archiver and the OP.

Here's an example: https://poal.co/s/Biden/482270

Fantastic stuff!

Not sure how you're rendering the pages, but if using something like selenium or similar you may be able to include an adblocker to remove site annoyances like popups/etc. prior to rendering out the final html file.

Awesome

I'm using a headless Chrome engine.

So adding an anti-popup and ads is in the work.

The only problem is when websites are using Cloudflare, I need to work a function to randomize the User Agent as CF seems to be blocking the archiving after a while.
