Client-Side Web Archiving and Indexing

The current landscape of web archiving relies heavily on centralized services that frequently fail against modern anti-scraping protections and authenticated paywalls. Professionals and researchers lose countless hours and valuable data when critical forum threads, technical advice, or reference pages are deleted or altered. By shifting the capture mechanism to the user's local browser, individuals can reliably preserve the exact state of the web as they experience it.

Aggressive anti-scraping measures and the widespread shutdown of third-party API access have broken traditional centralized archiving tools. Simultaneously, the rise of local-first software and cheaper local storage makes client-side DOM capture highly feasible and attractive.

Rough estimate: The Total Addressable Market encompasses tens of millions of knowledge workers globally. The Serviceable Addressable Market consists of roughly 5-7 million technical professionals who actively curate reference material. The Serviceable Obtainable Market for a solo founder is likely 10,000 to 50,000 paying prosumer and enterprise seats.
