A way to "save" an article for long term storage

[chuanqisun]

A feature request converted from #6 (comment).

Please note, the current cache.json is not designed for long term storage.

• User could wipe out the cache by mistake and any glitch in the system might cause the cache to become corrupt.
• An ever growing cache is not scalable. The UI loading will become slower as the cache gets larger.

An ideal solution would save the crawled content from the article into a permanent file separate from the cache. Searching and potentially indexing become a new problem.

This might fall out of the scope of this project but if you have other tools to recommend, please share. I can look into how osmosfeed can integrate with those tools.

Meanwhile, osmosnote and osmosmemo might help preserve something you read, though neither crawls the full content.

I looked around and it seems a self-hosted RSS reader like miniflux (https://miniflux.app/) would be a way to go if I want my feeds to be archived.

miniflux is awesome! I especially love the minimalist approach to make the content stand out. I'll look into the "save" mechanism and try support something similar.

Auto-submitting the links to Internet Archive can be one easy solution. Osmosfeed can have a variable {{ArchivedLink}} that returns the Internet Archive link on the day it showed up on the RSS feed.
