Describe the bug

I am trying to save a full working copy of the interactive site https://distill.pub/2019/activation-atlas/ but when I try echo "https://distill.pub/2019/activation-atlas/" | ./archive the resulting archive only preserves the text. Reading the documentation, the default should save everything.

It's quite a complex site to save, but it does show up properly in the PDF/Screenshot output in my test:

As this is not specifically related to this site, but is a general problem with archiving complex, interactive content, I'm closing it in favor of more specific issues with individual archive methods.

You can track our progress improving a few pieces of interactive site archiving here:

@pirate thanks for the response - is it a goal/within-scope for this project to try and save a site as complex as that?

Yes @diego898, it's 100% in-scope. We want to be able to save every website you can view online with perfect fidelity. It's a goal shared by many of the other tools as well, from Archive.org to Webrecorder.io, we all care about getting it right ;)

This is a good set of tests if you're interested in seeing which tools are able to archive interactive sites: http://acid.matkelly.com

hey @pirate - sorry I don't know much about this. How exactly do I "use" or "test" using those sets of tests? thanks!
