Not a single self-hosted read-it later use single file in their backend. I wonder why... single file works flawlessly on every site !

The only one that works similarly is linking.

Hey, my nick! I’m not 100% sure but readeck saves into a single file.

Haha kinda scary !! XD

Yeah I tried readeck and while it does better than the others it still doesn't use single file (or I missed some configuration?)

I do like it because it even transcribes YouTube videos and that's very neat ! However, I work lot on superuser, stack*,ask* pages which aren't properly scraped and render with their comments.

The only perfect working solution I found was singlefile + Zotero.

OMG, are you me? I’m also a heavy stack* and ask* user, that’s so funny!

I’m not sure if it really uses single file, I’m a relatively new user and while linking around the system, saw that it saves its stuff in a single … what was it… gz or zip or tug. But not sure if it just scrapes everything and puts it into an archive file.

If you use the browser extension, it saves the page as rendered (at least it should). If not, open a bug report, the maintainer seems quite helpful.

You can also somehow script extractors I believe, so it should be possible to correct saving ask* and stack* pages.
