Dara recently celebrated its 3rd anniversary and is now in its 4th year, or 1110th day if you prefer large numbers.

Since launch Dara has released several original products and services, including:

Dara Dashboard — User dash to create, archive and share your saves
Dara Wayback — Browser extension to snapshot and archive web pages
Dara Dictionary — A dictionary whose definitions are on a blockchain.
Dara Gutenberg — A complete Gutenberg library compressed and archived
Dara Deathrow — Auto-arching Wikipedia articles nominated for deletion
Dara Superstonk — An archive of the SuperStonk Library of DD, a collection of posts from the Superstonk subredit which faced censorship.

Other products and services were never completed, but should be:

Dara Vault — A service for X to archive posts on a blockchain ledger.
Dara Mobile — A mobile app. Dara meets X.
Dara Node — Dara’s Encyclosphere node

Dara also contributed at protocol level by developing OPFS (Outer Planetary File System) for viewing files on IPFS and contributing to the ZWI standard for data archival. Some, but not yet all Dara code can be found on GitHub.

DONATIONS

We are soliciting donations to help continue our mission to save and help others save what might otherwise be lost as ephemeral Internet data.

To make permanent immutable digital copies of our most valued information and knowledge is as important as anything we can think of for the future betterment of humanity.

Archive and publish and then share what matters to you personally; your personal Wayback Machine.

Other collections of knowledge like Project Gutenberg’s vast ebook library to a simple dictionary, are so valuable we set about preserving those too!

Dara will explore grants and other funds provided by the many organizations who sponsor projects not unlike it, but some costs need to be covered in the short-term.

Dara operates as an open source and community-driven project and can still make a successful future, especially if we band together.
