MiceWeb

The legacy Web gives us the familiar addressing system. Let's use it. However, data should be available as long as possible.

Features:

• Save web page by URL to local MiceWeb library, stored in IPFS MFS.
• Support following URL schemes: http, https, gopher, gemini, ftp, ftps, ipfs, ipns, git.
• Share saved versions.

Development:

The target is to create portable tool, not spending many resources to support different platforms, so using Bash seems a good solutuon. See also testssl.sh Coding Style to get into the spirit.

MiceWeb uses ZERONET_PATH environment variable to work with ZeroNet.

IPFS Reprovider.Strategy determines privacy level.

It's possible to have several libraries on a single machine by running several ipfs nodes.

Notes:

MiceWeb tries to do best to save web pages. However, you still have to check saved snapshots of important pages.

Construct RatBrowser to save browser-generated pages. Use SaveSites to save web sites entirely.
