scheduled-screenshots

This is a script that takes a screenshot of the homepage of my website once a week.

A graphic showing multiple screenshots arranged into a stack, as if they were in a timeline – older screenshots towards the back, newer screenshots towards the front

Why?

I want to keep a record of the "look and feel" of my website.

Having lots of screenshots is one way to do that, but I'm not always good about remembering to take them! Creating screenshots on a regular schedule ensures I'll have a reasonable record of what my website looked like.

How?

I have a GitHub Action that wakes up once a day and takes a screenshot with Playwright, which is a tool for automating browsers. It saves that screenshot in this repo.

I filled in the historical archive with screenshots from the Wayback Machine. (First I got a list of captures, then I took a screenshot of each capture.)
