On a Mac, it’s as quick as hitting CMD+Shift+4 and I get a PNG on my desktop.
If I’m creating a CSS framework anyway, I’ve gotta test it. It literally takes 2 seconds - literally - to hit CMD+Shift+4 (I don’t know the Windows equivalent) - and when I publish to GitHub and write my readme, it takes another handful of seconds to add that image into the article.
Since that GitHub page is about a CSS framework, people are much more likely to download, use, fork or contribute to it - if you’ve spent this less than ten seconds to help your potential users out.
There’s lots and lots of utilities and articles for which you wouldn’t need to use screenshots as examples - command line utilities, certain frameworks, etc - but this article is an example of the opposite.
The reason I can’t understand people who would do that - especially in the example of said CSS framework - is if you’ve spent all this time working on something like that, and you’re choosing to share it with people - why not undergo that ~10-15 second long process for their sake?
