Is Amber dead?

Hi @jlicht I just found the project.

I'm unclear if it's actively maintained? I note that #59 is still looking for a resolution. Are on-site snapshots still working on WordPress?

I'm also very curious on this. Was there another solution found for globalvoices.com to programmatically save pages, at the very least?

There's still an aspiration to update Amber to address the various open issues, and bring it up to speed to newer versions of Wordpress, Drupal, etc. However, at this point, there's no specific timeline attached to any of these changes.

I created a fork to work on some of the internet archive issues I encountered, including making POST requests when making new saves:

I crudely added a little bit functionality as well like bulk actions to make it a little more convenient to use. I do not have access to AWS or Perma.cc so I cannot fix any issues related to that. The local archiver could use some work as well because while it does save stuff, it usually does not get the CSS or images so the pages look really bad.
