> One question if ya don't mind, while I explore: any chance of singlefile support?
Yes, partially. Hister can already import HTML files created by SingleFile, but there is no direct integration yet. In the longer term, I would like the SingleFile extension to be able to send snapshots directly to Hister.

I came here to mention https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/singlefile, I couldn't get it to do what I want so I built my own, for watched domains it pushes a copy of the serialized DOM to a local search database. For structured data, either extract and enrich in the browser or enrich on the server side.
Would Hister support this basic workflow? I'd love to retire my own software.
The next phase was going to move to a recording proxy.
I assume it content-extracts that on upload? I'd really like to move storage into hister too, if possible. That way you could also switch from an extracted view to a "full" view in the UI. Though I assume that'd be fairly simple to build later.
Overall I really like what I'm seeing, it ticks a lot of important boxes for me and it's pleasantly straightforward. Hopefully I'll find time to contribute!
