Monolith–CLI Tool to Save Web Page as Single HTML File

I generally prefer to use a Chrome extension to accomplish this, but Monolith is a CLI tool that will save a web page as a single HTML file. And it does so with a bit of humor,

A data hoarder’s dream come true: bundle any web page into a single HTML file. You can finally replace that gazillion of open tabs with a gazillion of .html files stored somewhere on your precious little drive.

Unlike the conventional “Save page as”, monolith not only saves the target document, it embeds CSS, image, and JavaScript assets all at once, producing a single HTML5 document that is a joy to store and share.

If compared to saving websites with wget -mpk, this tool embeds all assets as data URLs and therefore lets browsers render the saved page exactly the way it was on the Internet, even when no network connection is available.
