Thanks for sharing the [SingleFile](https://www.getsinglefile.com/) extension - that’s a great tool and one I probably wouldn’t try to replicate or overlap with too much. I also have the same use-case - wanting to simply preserve a working version of the page in a single HTML file, so I have just installed SingleFile as well. I didn’t know about this great extension!

Once you have ‘Clipped To Discourse’ you could also upload that HTML file as an attachment to the Post. This is how I would probably use it, as an alternative to [archive.org](http://archive.org).

For future versions of Clip To Discourse I think I’ll focus on:

- **User-selected text range** to be clipped as the Excerpt
- Improved **Markdown formatting** of that Excerpt content
