I dunno -- generally speaking, the Wayback Machine is a much better time travel experience than trying to recover a website from an old git commit.

Especially since it's not limited to only sites I've created...

And in this particular case, all the creator was looking for was old badge images, and they'd generally be in an images directory somewhere no matter whether the site was static or dynamic.

Was wondering the same thing. Couldn't they just load https://web.archive.org/save/{site_url} once a month in their Github action instead of managing the storage of these images?

Could be useful for company internals sites?
