A data hoarder's dream come true:
bundle any web page into a stand-alone HTML file.
Unlike conventional "Save page as …", `monolith` saves the target
document **and** embeds JavaScript, CSS and image assets **all at once**,
resulting in a single HTML5 document that is easy to store and share.
Works both on remote and local targets.

If compared to saving websites with `wget -mpk`,

`monolith` embeds all assets as data-URIs and therefore would display the page
exactly the same at any time, not depending on the Internet connection.
However, keep in mind that `monolith` is not aware of your browser's session.
