Isn't this powered by phantomjs more than docker?

Surely docker is just a deployment strategy?

Absolutely, we're more concerned w/ use-cases vs. Docker itself. PhantomJS is a great tool, and we're using it to show off the platform which hosts this sort of stuff in the cloud (with Docker!). Would love to get some more feedback: [email protected] :)

If it's just for taking screenshots I'm curious why you chose phantom rather than say wkhtmltoimage/pdf?

I've used phantom (via Casper) for some scraping tools but for images I would have thought the wkhtmlto* project was simpler?

Hey Stephen -- Honestly, it was just what I had more experience using; I always presumed Phantom is more consistent and malleable, albeit sometimes a pain to configure. You are definitely right on the simplicity aspect.

We're aiming to extend it past basic screenshotting -- is there any functionality you'd like to see? (moreover, are there any other services we could chuck on the platform that you'd like to see?)

Link to GH issues here, too: https://github.com/StackHut/phantomjs/issues

Personally? No. I specifically don't use hosted services wherever I can self-host. My interest was purely technical, rather than about a specific use-case I had in mind.

Hey all, I'm one of the developers, so if you've got any questions -- shoot away!

Didn't take my screenshot properly I'm afraid.

Hey Duboff! Sorry to hear that -- what website were you trying to screenshot? Would love to try and fix your issue: you can reach me at [email protected] .
