Clear and concise description of the problem

As a user seeking comprehensive knowledge management capabilities, I propose implementing native support for SingleFile-generated content within AnyType.

SingleFile (github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile) is a robust browser extension compatible with Chrome, Firefox, and other major browsers, which enables users to save complete web pages as self-contained HTML files.

Suggested solution

This feature request seeks to enhance AnyType's functionality through the following implementations:

File Import Capabilities

Manual Import

• Implement a dedicated import interface allowing users to:
  • Select and upload individual SingleFile (.html) documents
  • Batch process multiple SingleFile archives

Automated Import

• Develop a watch folder system with configurable options for:
  • Automatic ingestion of new SingleFile documents
  • Customizable organization rules (e.g. tagging, categorization)
  • Conflict resolution protocols for existing files

Content Rendering System

• Create a specialized viewer that accurately renders SingleFile-preserved content

Content Retrieval Capability

• Implement full-text search functionality that:
  • Indexes text content from SingleFile documents
  • Supports keyword highlighting in search results
  • Allows metadata search (URL, save timestamp, document title)
  • Enables cross-document search across multiple archived pages

Alternative

No response

Additional context

Apologies for my limited English proficiency, but I genuinely hope this proposal can benefit the community. For users who process high volumes of web content, web archiving within knowledge management software is essential – the ability to preserve specific pages for later review during downtime. While I acknowledge the existing AnyType Web Clipper extension, it currently only operates on Chrome and lacks support for importing pre-existing SingleFile archives stored locally.

The implementation of this feature request could potentially facilitate deeper integration between AnyType and personal web archiving services like ArchiveBox, creating a more cohesive ecosystem for digital preservation.
