The problem it solves

You want to know what your site looked like last week or catch a visual bug before a customer does, but nobody has time to manually screenshot every page on a regular basis. Without a visual history, it is hard to prove when a design broke or what changed.

Who it fits

Website owners and teams who want an ongoing visual record of their site.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the automation runs through your list of key pages
  2. Each page is captured as a full screenshot
  3. Every screenshot is uploaded to Google Drive with a timestamped name
  4. You get a running visual archive you can browse anytime
What you get

A running visual history of your website

Your key web pages get photographed on a schedule, building a running archive you can browse anytime.

What you get

A timestamped archive of website screenshots stored in Google Drive.

What you need

A screenshot service account and a Google Drive account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
