About monolith
A browser's Save Page As produces an HTML file plus a folder of assets that is easy to separate and lose. monolith embeds the CSS, images, fonts and JavaScript as data URLs inside a single HTML5 document, so one file is the whole page and it renders exactly as it did online even with no network at all.
That makes it genuinely good for archiving: one file per page, easy to store, easy to share, easy to search. Compared with `wget -mpk` the difference is that nothing is left pointing at the network.
It is a command-line tool, written in Rust, released into the public domain under CC0, and packaged almost everywhere including Homebrew, Chocolatey, Scoop, winget, Snap, Nix, Pacman, Alpine, FreeBSD and pkgsrc.
