What it does
Capture screenshots of any site — single URL, sitemap, or CSV — and diff them between runs. Catches visual regressions your test suite can't see, before your users do. Full-page or sectioned, light/dark mode, authenticated pages, CI-ready exit codes. Open source, MIT licensed.
Screenshot any site — single URL, array, CSV, or a whole sitemap — full page or sectioned, with real auth support and visual diffing between runs.
Capture real pages with a real browser, compare them before and after a change, and let CI catch visual regressions before they reach production. This runs the same capture engine used by the CLI against sites we control. Same browser, same waiting logic, same screenshot pipeline — just without installing anything. Real capture, run live against form-validation.nforshifu234dev.com — same viewport and load-wait logic ShotSweep uses. Limited to a handful of sites we control, rate-limited, cached for 30 minutes. Your build can pass. Your unit tests can pass. Your API tests can pass. Your application can return HTTP 200. A CSS change can still break the interface. ShotSweep adds a visual…from shotsweep.nforshifu234dev.com

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
