Feature #254
browser scriptlet to archive Nextdoor posts
Description
As far as I can tell, Nextdoor has no public API for reading posts, and you can't access them via web without an account -- which can be nontrivial to obtain.
More critically, posts have been unaccountably disappearing from the local Politics group I'm in; nobody is taking credit, but we suspect the active admin (who identifies as "conservative" and does not appear to understand critical thinking) of removing them.
I'd like to be able to quickly archive discussions from this group, using a bookmarklet or whatever seems both reasonably easy to use and reasonably easy to write.
The usage would be:
1. Navigate to a post
2. Click bookmarklet
3. Save post, comments, authors, and any other information that seems to be available in a single file (JSON is fine).
Timestamps are especially difficult to derive from the web UI -- so it would be a nice bonus if those turned up in the DOM, but I'm not expecting it.

Basic functionality now working -- written as a plugin, due to restrictions in what can be done with a bookmarklet or within something like TamperMonkey. I have created [[NDArchive]] for tracking work on the plugin.
