Using Archive.org doesn’t work on medium posts and ideally I want to archive every post. The blog I’m trying to archive is https://itsairborne.com in case the posts go down. Googling how to backup medium posts only gives me articles on how to do it if it were my blog. I found this extension called Monolith of Web that allows you to backup a website using the Rust tool Monolith and I just went to each article and clicked the extension and saved them all one by one

    Write a scraper using python and selenium or something. You may have to manually log in as part of it

    Pose this question to chat gpt 3.5 or 4. Ask it to assist in making a (python?) script to do this. Feed it errors, and you can get there pretty quickly and learn along the way.

    which of the posts didn’t work on archive.org wayback machine? I tried your post “How Can You Clean the Air” and it worked, though took a bit of time due to a couple of redirecting

    Good find on the solution, there’s some good alternatives from the github Monolith as well. However, MoW looks great, too bad it’s Chrome only from what I can see :(
