# monolith
2017-02-20 09:01:13 +01:00
A data hoarder's dream come true: bundle any web page into a stand-alone HTML file.
2017-02-20 08:51:24 +01:00
Unlike conventional "Save page as …", `monolith` saves the target
document **and** embeds JavaScript, CSS and image assets **all at once**,
2017-02-20 09:01:13 +01:00
resulting in a single HTML5 document that is a joy to store and share.
2017-02-20 08:51:24 +01:00
Works both on remote and local targets.
2017-02-20 09:01:13 +01:00
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.
