Offly

A multi-purpose tool for capturing high fidelity static reproductions of highly dynamic web sites.

Usage

For generating a reproduction Offly spins up a proxy that intercepts and records all traffic going through it. Traffic can either be triggered manually through a web browser or programatically.

A reproduction can be served through a browser (intercepting proxy) or as a static web server.
