Ask HN: Can you load this medium.com URL on web archive?
web.archive.orgMedium.com articles are now mostly behind paywalls and I tried loading the URL via the web.archive.org but it keeps being redirected and impossible to view. I wonder if this was a cleverly hidden way to obsolete the archiving of such web pages by Medium.
It loads just fine for me, but only the article summary. I suspect to archive the full piece you'd have to make a local copy when logged in and upload that or provide some credentials to archive.org (not sure how, maybe their Archive-It.org product supports this?)
Same here.
Pivotal does something similar: saving the page no longer loads lanes or stories. In Chrome, you can set to "be offline" so the Javascript doesn't try to erase the DOM.
It's harder with archive.org, since it requests on your behalf. In that case, archive.org could set its scraper to behave similarly, toggling network off after the fetch, before archiving.
Same here.
No, it just loads indefinitely. You can access it with scribe.rip and then archive. Medium.com involves JS to load article, probably to make paywall work.
