ao3 saver

hi! ive been using this extension for well over a year and a half now, and it has been working great. I'm not sure if it has something to do with my computer, but today I checked the extension and saw that ALL of the backed up fics that I had saved were gone. Just a big blank space, all missing. I tested out just now and new works are saving just fine, but everything from the past year is gone :( I have been using the same computer since then. Is there someway to recover them? And if not, is ... Show more

I love it, especially when it's able to archive works that are so big that using AO3's regular download options don't seem to work (as in, overwhelming to the system)! <3 Though I would also love it if the archiving wasn't solely done in HTML format, I hope there's a way to include PDF too.

Thank you for the positive review :) Other archival formats are likely coming in the future! I recently did a complete re-write of the extension's underlying servers. For now, I'm focused on improving stability to the best I can. Under the new system, archiving under different formats will be extremely easy to implement though. I plan on adding the option to choose a primary format, then a fallback format in case the primary can't be fetched from ao3. I might do this sooner then later due to how easy this will be to add. If I remember, I'll let you know once it's implemented.

What a fantastic idea for an extension! I haven't truly needed any of the backups yet, but I did confirm they're available, and it brings me peace of mind to know they exist. The 404 page with quick links to search on both ao3 saver and archive.org is another nice touch. I really appreciate the developer's generosity in providing this extension (and its server space) for free.

Great, but doesn't seem to work with Squidgeworld?

This extension is literally saving my life right now right now.
