Ask HN: Best approaches to archiving interactive web journalism/writing
2 by tusslewake | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I was scrolling through this article (https://ift.tt/UOxAMBN) in the New York Times on the history of collage and art. It's a cool article with a lot of dynamic visual content that moves, shifts and refocuses as you scroll, what I believe the NYTimes calls an "interactive story." Is anyone trying to archive articles like this for the medium/long term? I can imagine a static video of the article, but to really capture the original experience, you'd need something like a Docker for the typical 2022-era browser that was meant to run the story. Does archive.org have the best solution to this problem right now? Who else is working on it and what are they doing?
