Got scammed on CL buying something and want to reference the original ad for any "forensic" data. Of course the scammer will delete the post as soon as the item(s) are "sold". No problem, I'll just reference clippings because it's archived. There's one.

I've personally wanted to reference an ad after purchasing something or in other situations and it's gone. Again, think of physically clipping a newspaper ad. Pretty much just like http://wayback.archive.org/but on a more granular/niche scale.

Looks like GitHub workflow to rebuild pages errored for some reason and that's why the 404 showed up. However, you'll notice that if you click on the direct link to the git content, everything is there.

Clippings is your modern-day archival tool for online classified ads, reminiscent of the days when we used to clip newspaper ads. It captures and securely stores ad snapshots in the cloud, ensuring they're always accessible—even if the original poster or anyone else removes them.

Ads archived to robust/permanent cloud location (GitHub) No fussing with screenshots or storing files on your own device 100% open source (Vue.js frontend, Node.js backend, archive)

Great if you want to capture your true commit activity on the ubiquitous GitHub contribution graph but... use other git workflows for the majority of your work (private, non-GitHub, local)

works regardless of what workflow you happen to have... (GitLab, BitBucket, CodeCommit, local repo only i.e. plain Git, ...) smartly tracks useful metadata only and is customizable for privacy, etc. full control of what's shared and what's not via filtering. not limited to main (or any specific branch) to work

Any questions? Here to answer. ;)

Exactly my workflow as well. @code over ssh is ! And I wrote this tool to help decrease the cost of running a dev workstation on a remote droplet. Might be of interest... https://t.co/lM615WDvO3
