Does Huawei provide an Android virtual machine with Google frameworks built in? When I was traveling in Japan, I used Google Maps, and for daily use, Chrome and 1Password all worked fine.

In my daily use, only three apps run in the virtual machine: 1Password, Steam, and Chrome. They all run normally, but they're a bit laggy.

I bought a Huawei phone because of the hardware. I'm using the Pura X foldable phone.

The 16:10 screen makes it very convenient for watching videos and reading e-books.

The chip is the Kirin 9020. Although it's only equivalent to Android flagship chips from a few years ago, it doesn't feel laggy in daily use.

Huawei's HarmonyOS is quite good. As for other brands like OPPO and Xiaomi, I've used them before too. You can use Google Play and a whole range of Google apps, but the localization adaptation is much better.

There are already 100 million HarmonyOS devices in China, so you could say it's now a three-way rivalry. The apps I use every day basically all have native HarmonyOS versions, including even foreign apps like Tesla and Sam's Club.

I've actually been using HarmonyOS for half a year now, and it feels pretty good — the notifications and system smoothness are on par with iOS. The reason I don't use an iPhone is that I need NFC access control, which iOS doesn't support.

Huawei has invested a large amount of manpower to station people in major companies to help develop HarmonyOS. I think they have already broken the vicious cycle of "no users -> no apps -> even fewer users."

Moreover, in the current AI era, it has become easier for Chinese developers to port software to HarmonyOS. For example, Moonlight, the streaming software I often use, has several natively customized and optimized versions available in the HarmonyOS app store.

There's one more thing. Leader of antv is the developer of echarts.

When it comes to web archiving, I've found that Markdown has some real limitations. Sure, it's great for basic text, but it struggles with things like embedded content and non-standard layouts. Try archiving a Twitter thread or an app-style webpage in Markdown, and you'll see what I mean. It just doesn't capture the full picture.

That's why I've come to prefer formats like webarchive, mhtml, or single HTML files for archiving. They're incredibly faithful to the original content - you get almost perfect rendering of the original page, complete with styling and layout. Plus, they can capture stuff behind paywalls or on logged-in pages, which is a huge plus.

The real challenge, though, isn't just about saving the content. It's about making that saved content useful. These archive formats are great for preservation, but they can quickly become a mess of unorganized files that are hard to search through or make sense of.

I think the key is finding ways to organize and interact with these archives more effectively. Things like full-text search across all your saved pages, the ability to add notes or highlights directly on the archived content, and smart tagging systems could go a long way. And it'd be really powerful if we could integrate these archives with other knowledge management tools we use.

I develop a tool called HamsterBase that seems to address a lot of these issues we've been discussing. t's a local-first app. That means all your data stays on your own device - no need to worry about your personal archives being stored on someone else's servers. There's no sign-up or registration required, which is refreshing in today's cloud-centric world.

It's an interesting problem space, and I think there's a lot of room for innovation in how we approach personal web archiving and knowledge management.

You could try hamsterbase. All functions are offline and data is stored locally.

If you need to save all the pages you've seen, you can use singlefile, an open source plugin that works directly with hamsterbase.
