Gwtar: a static efficient single-file HTML format

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

Gwtar is introduced as a static, self-contained HTML archive format that uses a header and HTTP range requests to lazily fetch content from an appended tarball. The piece analyzes the HTML archiving trilemma (static, single-file, efficient), contrasts Gwtar with SingleFile/MAFF, and outlines creation, implementation, limitations, and potential enhancements such as PAR2-based FEC and cryptographic signing.
