The stuff I've been working on recently is finally public! I've spent the past bit revamping the social media site support in Browsertrix. We can capture much more content from Facebook and Instagram now, and I've also fixed Youtube video capture. webrecorder.net/blog/2026-07...

One solution is to encourage journalists & readers to create & share their own archives. We have open source tools to allow anyone to archive what they're viewing in their browser, eg: our free browser extension: archiveweb.page and Browsertrix, our hosted service, can also crawl logged-in content

This incredible story underscores, amongst other things, the need for trust and transparency in arching tools, and for web archiving toolchain to be fully open source and archives to be verifiable.

What has the Webrecorder team been up to recently? A whole lot -- we've been a little too busy working on new features and improvements to have time to share, until now! Here's latest blog post from @bitarchivist.net covering last three Browsertrix releases: webrecorder.net/blog/2025-12... !

Up on the Webrecorder blog today: a post all about our latest Browsertrix release, 1.17. This release was focused on two much-requested features: crawl pause/resume and crawling websites with only 1 or 2 browser windows. Read more on our blog: webrecorder.net/blog/2025-07...

I wrote a blog post for the @webrecorder.net site all about exciting new developments in automated behaviors in Browsertrix. In short, it's easier than ever to tell the crawler exactly what actions to take while archiving a web page! Check it out: webrecorder.net/blog/2025-05...

Love this new initiative by @webrecorder.net: GovArchive.us, mirroring dynamic sites as a static web archive, while preserving the previous URL structure. Could be a really compelling options for digital humanities projects, too.

Would it be interesting to add some sort of automated way to opt-in to web archiving outbound links posted on atproto, and then extending the appview to view embedded archives (and extending the schema to WACZ files)? Maybe even a way to search for what's been archived so far? @bnewbold.net
