- Does save the whole page/article in case it goes offline? (preferably time-stamped for citations)

- Does it allow full text search?

Granary.pro is a service that is started to find materials to refer to on the Internet and manage them systematically. Especially for writing documents.

I am sorry that it does not save the whole article and does not provide full text search. However, if we have user requests, we can assist these features in the near future. Though insufficient, you can leave an important part of the article in notes and search for them.

For more information, please refer to the blog below. https://medium.com/@blog.granary/available-in-granary-pro-fo... https://medium.com/@blog.granary/why-we-created-granary-pro-...

I was wondering about that. The problem is that sites change, or even disappear. For stuff that matters, I bookmark and print to PDF. Maybe that wouldn't scale. But it would get around needing account information.

"Quality content on the web exists forever. I don’t think NYTimes is going to die any soon, neither is Kalzumeus or the Nieman Journalism Lab. These sites are going to live on forever, it’s not like they forget to renew domains every year. If they dabble a bit with the URL structure, it’s pretty easy to dig back the content I love by just Googling for the relevant keywords."

Well, I guess that it depends on what "quality" you're after. It's not uncommon, for example, to see pastes taken down within hours. Much interesting stuff is ephemeral.
I agree with you, but Granary.pro is focused on IMPORTANT articles rather than interesting things so far. :) Anyway if we have a lot of user request, we will assist these features in the near future.
