This is so clever. Love it. Would love a version that just runs locally without sending things to the cloud.

The Arc browser has something like this with their Capture + Easels feature (example of this post: https://arc.net/e/A6D1FE0C-063A-4500-8D19-46581D16181E), and it supposedly does update.

Truth be told, I have no clue how the live-updating feature works when I share an Easel but it does capture the page as I see it

Edit: It does change on my local "Easel" almost instantly with my reply, but we'll see if that screenshot updates for others. A little experiment, I guess.

That's great and all but it seems one can not easily download the 'arc' browser.. Arc wants contact information to join a 'wait list'.. ?

what's an Easel?

[andrewmunsell]

It's their term for a board you can add shapes and captures of webpages to, and you can share it. Might be good for building a personal dashboard composed of multiple monitoring services

The nice thing about this approach, to my mind, is that it can turn interactive interfaces and make them "read-only". It also seems like a pretty safe way to send data from behind your firewall.

Stick an `opacity: 0` div in front of it to "disable" interactivity
