I used Pocket until they remove the ability to save page as offline (moved to premium tier afak) and also shoving sponsored content here and there.

I switched to Raindrop, and the free-tier is more than ~~useless~~ useful to me.

Oops a typo.

Adding to that, all i want is a download current page to read offline, sort of like pdf (embedded image and styles) but on reading mode.

If that's all you need, you could try the SingleFile browser extension. Works great on mobile, too.

HN does not support whatever markup you are trying to use. You have to use Unicode:

“I switched to Raindrop, and the free-tier is more than u̶s̶e̶l̶e̶s̶s̶ useful to me.”

I’ve been using Raindrop and have used the Permanent Copy (offline) feature enough that I wouldn’t consider doing without it. It’s worth every penny if you ask me. And you can host it yourself AFAIK, I just haven’t looked into it much.
