Storify was a silo for creating collections, acquired by Livefyre in 2013, then Adobe in 2016, and shut down 2018-05-16. It was commonly used to collect tweets but custom text, photos, and links could also be included.
How to export
To get a static HTML file you can simply append .html to the storify url, e.g. https://storify.com/yangbodu/pdf14 becomes https://storify.com/yangbodu/pdf14.html The HTML contains the text of collected posts and is thus easier to archive (send it to archive.org too while it is still available!).
Alternatively, you can follow the more complex instructions from https://storify.com/faq-eol to get the same result:
Exporting content from Storify can be done in a few simple steps:
- Log in to Storify at www.storify.com.
- Mouse over the story that contains content you would like to export and select "View."
- Click on the ellipses icon and select "Export."
- Choose your preferred format for download.
- To save your content and linked assets in HTML, select - File > Save as > Web Page, Complete.
- Repeat the process for each story whose content you would like to preserve.
