Pagesnap

Love the simple site and focus. I've been working on a similar project focusing more on visual diffing, but haven't been able to launch yet. Still building the server…

I love everything about this. Good job so far!

That's a really good name.

I actually had this idea a few years ago but never got around to building it, so I'm glad you're making it happen. At my previous startup I hacked this manually by taking a…

I think the real benefit of sites like this are accountability and historic research. Having the ability to see what has been omitted or taken down is far more interesting.

This was inspired by a short discussion on Twitter between mperham and patio11 last weekend.[1] The basic app works great right now but I haven't put the billing code in quite…

You are the Master of Modern Payments and the billing code is the only thing it lacks?? Just kidding! ;) Smart move and good luck!

It's not necessarily a huge burden, but if someone wants to run 10K URLs through this thing on a daily basis we'd need to have a chat. As of today it's not ready to scale that…

- Adding visual diffs would be very cool. - Some sort of visual timeline would also be great, i.e. the ability to flip through screenshots with a javascript slider or something -…

I was thinking about that the other day, that would be awesome something that builds it at every step and converts it to an animated gif

This would solve a large problem I have, if it could be taught how to click on a few well-named #ids my dynamic page has. It's not obvious whether it can do this.

Question. Is the number of urls such a huge burden? At Theneeds.com we manage about 4k websites (planning to grow to 10k) so the prices of all these services are totally out of…

Are the screenshots being grabbed by Pagesnap or the website's end? Do I have to include some sort of JS snippet? Could you use this to monitor the competition's landing page?

Screenshots are grabbed from the server. At the moment there's nothing you have to include on your end.

You can use this as well: http://visualping.io/. We're still working on doing more frequent checks on gowatchtower.com

Couldn't i use the free version that's somewhat more relevant: http://visualping.io ?

I built something very similar last year and still reference it all the time: https://www.dailysitesnap.com There's a payment form but I never hooked anything up -- it's all…

@650REDHAIR .. try https://diphur.com if you're interested in monitoring competitors web pages.

I recently started a project that takes screenshots of top news sites every hour: http://newsabovethefold.com It's really fascinating to look at once you've collected a decent…
