Empty page, is it running?
Re:Show HN: Screenshot.Rocks: Open-source browser and mobile... by dignite on Tuesday February 14, 2023 @11:20AM (#34791608)
That's odd. It's definitely up on my end. Maybe something preventing the JS running?

It is a blank page on Safari. Working on chrome and Firefox.

Really cool app.

That should be fixed now after a hard refresh. Thanks for the heads up!

Still seeing the issue here. Forced a reload without cache.

I would strongly recommend you use the tool to generate a screenshot of the tool and put that on the homepage :)

Drag & drop not working on Brave.

Simple and clean, well done. The tilt options are a nice touch.

A few suggestions:

- Add example(s) on the home page. This is the first thing I look for, it took me a few seconds before I noticed "Try a demo image".

- In the case of a mobile screenshot, if the image is horizontal then the camera location on the "fake" phone should be moved to the side. Currently the camera remains on top, making the phone look more like a laptop screen.

- Add a button to reset the value for each individual property (size, space, tilt...etc).

- For some reason when switching from "Browser" to "Mobile" mockups the canvas shrinks to a small size. I'm using Chrome.

Good suggestions, thanks!

When uploading (drag&drop or choose file) an image, jpg is not recognized, only jpeg and png.

Just fixed! https://github.com/daveearley/screenshot.rocks/pull/59 - Thanks for letting me know
Re:Show HN: Screenshot.Rocks: Open-source browser and mobile... by Klonoar on Tuesday February 14, 2023 @04:01PM (#34795931)
Suggestion: add a toggle for dark-mode, for websites that use it.

That's a great idea, thanks!

Awesome site....simple and intuitive yet powerful

Paste(CTRL-V) does not work on Firefox, Edge or Chrome for me. Am I missing something? Thanks.

Suggestion: If you type in a URL without http:// or https:// at the beginning it doesn't work. Can this be fixed?
Re:Show HN: Screenshot.Rocks: Open-source browser and mobile... by dignite on Tuesday February 14, 2023 @09:37PM (#34799324)
Yes! that can and will be fixed tomorrow :)

I have build something similar a while ago https://frameshift.netlify.app

Suggestions:

The demo image doesn't look great on the phone frame. Not sure what to do. Perhaps you could have a toggle for cropping the image and a setting for aspect ratio, that would be set by default when using the demo image?

Also, for people working on iOS apps it might be useful to have a vaguely iPhone-like shape available as well.

I tested my website and the Chinese in the page became garbled. Not for advertising, test https://seazhang.com if you need a case
Re:Show HN: Screenshot.Rocks: Open-source browser and mobile... by eshnil on Tuesday February 14, 2023 @09:29PM (#34799264)
It would be great to be able to navigate the page to a certain scroll location or a specific state if it's a single page app and THEN take a screenshot. I don't know how you would achieve that though. Easier for the user to upload an image.
Re:Show HN: Screenshot.Rocks: Open-source browser and mobile... by dignite on Tuesday February 14, 2023 @09:34PM (#34799305)
Thanks for the suggestion! That would be tricky to automate alright. The browser extension allows you to capture any part of the page, which is the next best thing: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/screenshotrocks-on...

or Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/one-click-des...

Great product! I tested it out on Safari, but the downloaded image only showed the browser frame and not the screenshot itself.
Re:Show HN: Screenshot.Rocks: Open-source browser and mobile... by ApolloRising on Wednesday February 15, 2023 @12:48AM (#34800546)
The phone version does not show a mobile view but other than that well done. I used your browser extension.
Re:Show HN: Screenshot.Rocks: Open-source browser and mobile... by aorth on Wednesday February 15, 2023 @01:19AM (#34800689)
This is cool! Posting to say thanks. I tried it with a screenshot that I had saved from Firefox's built-in screenshot tool.
