Shotlock
A screenshot API that doesn't choke on real webpages
Most screenshot APIs work great on a simple blog post and fall apart on a real product page — cookie banners, lazy-loaded content, slow scripts. Shotlock waits until the page is genuinely ready, not just loaded, and tells you exactly what happened if it isn't. Currently building in public and taking early access signups before opening it up
Hey everyone 👋 I got tired of screenshot APIs that return a blank page or a cookie banner and call it a "successful" request. Building Shotlock to fix that specifically — reliability first, not just another wrapper. Still pre-launch, would love to know what you'd want from something like this before I lock in the final feature set.
