At first glance I love this, looking forward to putting it through its paces. I often use wget to backup local copies of websites and it's been frustrating having no easy/automatic system to (a) keep easy information about when the snapshot was taken and (b) allows me to incrementally relate that snapshot into a network of historical info

Thanks for checking out the project. You can also query the underlying database at ~/.erised/erised.sqlite3 if you prefer SQL over JSON strings.

Cool.

How does it work? What's under hood?

It uses Electron under the hood.

https://electron.atom.io/

ok, but does it archive whole website or just one page (given URL)?

It only archives the one page.
