Web Excursions are select bookmarks from my travels around the interwebs, because I'm always thinking about you while discovering other people's cool stuff. You mean that much to me. You can see all of my (public) bookmarks on my LinkDing, and visit the bookmarks archive for curated lists across the last few years.

Web excursions brought to you in partnership with Setapp. Get access to hundreds of Mac and iOS apps for one low monthly subscription fee.

Save web pages as Safari webarchive files from the command line. H/T to Stephen Millard

I’ve incorporated this into my linkding archiving script so that a webarchive file is saved alongside the Markdown version of archived bookmarks. Note that if you have SIP enabled, you won’t be able to use the downloadable version of the tool, you’ll need to download the source and compile with swiftc (see the README).
