Description
What if a screenshot was just a URL? Well I built it:https://screenshotit.app/{url} → imagee.g. https://screenshotit.app/news.ycombinator.comEmbed directly in markdown/html etc. Cached forever. No signup, no API key.

Could you build this?
Yes Running a URL-to-screenshot proxy is a standard task involving a small web server (Node/Go/Python) orchestrating headless Puppeteer or Playwright and saving images to S3/Cloudflare R2.
