I Built a Tool Habit: Capture Webpages as Evidence

Build-in-public voice (composite story from real user pain):

“I kept losing research sources when pages changed or disappeared. So I committed to a simple rule: if the page matters, it goes into an archive the same hour—not ‘later.’

That habit turned into PageStash for us: screenshot, original HTML where we can keep it, searchable text, and notes so I remember why I saved it.

Still iterating—but analysts, students, and journalists tell us the same thing: bookmarks are not evidence.”


What we optimized for

  • One-click capture from the browser.
  • Search that feels like grep for the web you actually read.
  • Graphs when projects sprawl across dozens of domains.
