A little website I made for taking screenshots of website using PhantomJS:

You are seeing this page because the domain name of this website has not been verified according to the regulations of ICANN - the body responsible for ensuring a stable and secure Internet and developing Registrar and Registrant policy.

Yep, that's fixed now

Without meaning to sound rude...why would I use this site when I can just press prnt screen + paste it into a graphics software of my choice?

 

I know you could say some people would be technologically impaired and not know how to do that, but at the same time figuring out how to use it sounds just as complex...(entering the URL, entering in email, accessing email etc)

You have a very good point though I am sure some people would find it useful. Anyway, project is mostly for fun and I might add some additional features to make it more useful.

What would be good is if you made it a time lapse sort of thing...where it takes a screen shot of the website every few weeks and archives them into a gallery...I know there are sites out there that do this but even so they are pretty cool to see! You could organise them into themes i.e. tech websites etc and then after a few years you'd have something pretty awesome to show case.

It's a nice idea but quite expensive to achieve storage-wise(depending on how many websites you are doing it on)

A simple 1920x1080 png would only take up about 1mb depending on the website...but I get what you're saying...alternatively you could use it as a screenshot tool? Maybe develop some software or an add on that lets you screen snap? I know there's already programs out there that do that...but it's a very unsaturated market and could be an interesting project to work towards?

You mention JS, but all I see is it linking to a PHP script. Where is JS used here? What method are you using to take a picture of the rendering of the website? Is this JS library something standalone, which the PHP script calls?

What about creating site's storyline movie from the image captures just like Facebook does? that could be, in time, added value.

I'm using PhantomJS which is a server side application for rendering pages. Don't know about the story line don't think it will be used much.
