9## About
10
11> the goal of Webrecorder has been to build quality open source tools enable 'web archiving for all' to allow anyone with a browser to create their own web archives, and to accurately replay them at a later time.

14### Quality Open Source Web Archiving Tools
15
16### Making web archiving more accessible via decentralized technologies
17
18> Rather than supporting a single centralized silo, a key goal remains to support web archives in a variety of environment and storage scenarios. From users' personal laptops, to google drive, to IPFS, Webrecorder tools will be designed to support creating and accessing web archives wherever they may be found.

21> Serverless replay of web archives directly in the browser

23### Intersection of web archiving and software emulation

25## Protocols
26
27### WACZ
28
29> WACZ stands for _W_eb _A_rchive _C_ollection _Z_ipped, and is a new file format designed to make creating and hosting web archives quicker and easier.

33### IPFS Custom File Chunking for WARC and WACZ
34
35> This specification presents a specialized content-aware chunking strategy for adding composite web archive files (WARC and WACZ) to IPFS that maximizes content-based deduplication and is optimized for range-based access while producing a standard IPFS (UnixFS) file object.

37[spec](https://github.com/webrecorder/specs/blob/main/wacz-ipfs/latest/index.md) for [[IPFS]] integration.

39Talked to Ilya about using [[WNFS]] rather than UnixFS since it is more of a file system (including versions), and could support private files through encryption.
