I am a bit vague on my requirements! but to be like the wayback machine pretty closely would be fine.
I want to archive web pages that I choose, I don't need to spider sites, just single pages is fine.
I want to keep a history so if I archive the same page it will make a copy, and have a reasonable way of browsing the versions.
A diff view of the rendered html would be amazing.
It would be nice if some thought to storage had been done, so updates are stored as diffs, and on disk stuff is compressed etc.
I don't need to grab youtube (etc) vids, but getting the page around 'complex' media would be good.
A relatively 'good' web front end that helps arrange and find the archived pages would be nice, and it be easy to add pages to archive from any browser/device.
It would be good to be able to store credentials to sites so they can grab 'my' view of pages.
I tried archivebox which seems to have some pretty individual design decisions, and only keeps one copy of an archived site (and in fact I have not masterd it as it has not actually archived many things... but I feel I have not understood its 'ethos' and am likely doing things wrong)
Also tried Linkwarden which seems fine, but again only takes a single copy of an archived site.
