no need to apologize! all ideas are good ideas when we're on the frontier.

you might like to look into the WARC file format. they are "recordings" of web request/response cycles and can be "played back" to emulate a previous web session. this is what the Wayback Machine uses to create such high-fidelity archives.

these are files that could be saved in blossom servers, potentially. the "playback" step is a bit complicated, unfortunately - it's not as simple as just loading the file from a server, the way an image or video works.

but it absolutely is possible to create a client or web extension that would do this full loop. many products already exist that do this. the trick would be adapting them for nostr/blossom/WebTorrent, etc.

I think a good (tangential) first step would be creating text/html-only simple archives of sites - similar to what you get with "Reader Mode" in web browsers, and create basic nostr notes out of those, on relays.

once we establish a norm of creating and sharing these simple versions, we can move on to things like provable archives, richer recordings/playback, etc
