What is hoardy-web-sas?

hoardy-web-sas is a very simple archiving server for the Hoardy-Web browser extension (also there).

I.e. this is the thing you run and then paste the URL of into Server URL setting in Hoardy-Web.

This thing is less than 200 lines of pure Python that only uses the Python's standard library and nothing else. You could be running it already.

Why does hoardy-web-sas exists?

This was made for easy Quickstart (also there) that also does reliable archiving.
