  • User tags a site (domain?) to save offline. Every time the user visits that site the page all assets that are fetched will be saved for offline viewing.
  • User can view list of sites saved offline and click to view a site.
  • Super Bonus: User can view previous versions of a site. Kinda like your own personal offline wayback machine!

For example, a user tags wikipedia.org for offline viewing. Then all site visited can be saved for offline viewing. (not sure if it'd be single URL -> dat or single domain -> dat).

Saving the site to a Dat will make it so you can use the existing Dat viewer to view site (I think you can use local assets in that viewer too?).

I did a prototype a few months ago with web-to-dat, minus the whole Beaker part. If you can get a list of URLs then you might be able to use url-dat to put them into an archive.

It may be useful to share sites with peers. But it'd seems like you'd need a dns type thing for mapping dat links to web urls (or manual sharing). I can't quite see this being really good until we do multi-writer hyperdrives (so both peers could update the offline site).

How would you make sure both writers are trustworthy though?
