What survives ingest
What Ancher keeps
Most tools flatten a web page into plain text at this step. Everything below is what they lose.
Readable content, decluttered
Navigation, ads and cookie banners are dropped, so the collection holds the article rather than the page.
Title, author, published date
A date is what stops a three-year-old post from being read as current.
Outbound links
What a writer links to repeatedly reveals the sources they actually trust.
Inline images
Charts and diagrams in an article are usually the evidence the prose is describing.
Many pages in one collection
A single page is an anecdote; the value of this route appears once several are compared.
Before you trust it
What to check in a web page
Three things that change what the output can be used for. Read them before you ship anything built from a web page.
- Structure is not preserved beyond the readable body — a forum thread arrives as text, without a comment tree, vote counts or reply nesting.
- Paywalled and login-gated pages return little or nothing.
- Heavily scripted pages can lose content that only appears after interaction.
One workspace for everything you save
Web pages sit alongside every other source in your workspace, so one deliverable can draw on all of them at once.
