This is a personal web page screenshotting service. Basically, it exposes an API that I can use to generate screenshot of any URL. By personal I mean that only I can use it. It is secured with JWT. But it is open source, and you can run your own instance.

It is deployed to Vercel and is inspired by Vercel’s Open Graph Image as a Service. The main difference is that this service is designed to be reusable across many use cases. It can capture arbitrary URLs and run arbitrary code. It is multi-tenant. I can reuse this service without having to share secrets.
