What it is
The README describes kage, a Go program that clones a website into a local folder. It can also pack the copy into one file or app.
What it says
- Kage clones a website into an offline folder and strips out every script.
- It loads each page in headless Chrome, snapshots the result, then deletes the JavaScript.
- The crawl is breadth-first, honors robots.txt, and can resume after an interruption.
- A copy can be packed into a ZIM file, one executable, or a double-click app.
- Packing is deterministic, so the same mirror always gives a byte-identical file.
- Costs named: ZIM files lack a full-text index, and binaries weigh about 13 MiB.
What evidence it gives
The README gives commands and flags, an example using paulgraham.com, and a directory layout. It points to a demo GIF and screenshot, which were not viewed. It reports no tests or timings.
Interests and limits
The tool's author wrote the README and promotes the tool. It does not discuss sites whose features need scripts. The demo GIF and screenshot were not viewed.
