Want to archive some web pages? It's time for our next Hands-On Web Archiving Workshop, Dec 9th, 1pm ET: www.sucho.org/diy-archiving together with @quinnanya.me @akijas.bsky.social
You'll be able to walk away with you very own web archives and some ideas what to do next, and we'll be there to help!

or a high-fidelity, standalone archive, created just for that page, that users can have a copy of / download, or even back into bluesky. we have tools do that, see: create.webrecorder.net#url=https%3A...

Would it be interesting to add some sort of automated way to opt-in to web archiving outbound links posted on atproto, and then extending the appview to view embedded archives (and extending the schema to WACZ files)? Maybe even a way to search for what's been archived so far?
@bnewbold.net

now what if there was also an option to archive these links...

as part of our collaboration with www.starlinglab.org
The creator of the archive can also be verified, see: dispatch.starlinglab.org/p/verify-aut...

we've implemented something this using a general web archiving approach: webrecorder.github.io/save-tweet-n...
