I'm pretty fond of using this tool to take trips down memory lane, revisiting lost content I used to enjoy.

Browsing through crawls has this neat side-effect of being able to serendipitously discover things that I missed back in the day just by having everything laid out on the file system.

PSA: There's a lot of holes in most crawls, even for popular stuff. A good way to ensure that you can revisit content later is submitting links to the Wayback Machine with the "Save Page Now" [1] functionality. Some local archivers like ArchiveBox [2] let you automate this. Highly recommended to make a habit of it.
