Link Fresh - a tool to fight against link rot on my blog

I was inspired by some articles I've read and decided to make a tool to help archive pages that I link out to.

@naviblogs I'm the author of the article you read on Bubbles.

Nice idea with Link Fresh.

Something you might investigate is using RSS feeds for sites that try to block scrapers. Often the RSS feed will have a permalink to an article which can be downloaded and archived. This is how Calibre is able to grab full articles from websites, images and all, and make them into ePub books. (Although some sites will still block you from doing this - like the New York Times.)
