Hi HN,

I’m one of the makers of this - thank you for posting!

We built it in early 2024 and it’s due an update.

While the main visualisation is currently out of date we’ve been grabbing screenshots monthly for the last 18 months. There’s a a free (no key required) API to all the data at https://ScreenshotOf.com

I’d love to hear any ideas you have for improving it.

You can embed the images and then organize them like this

Thank you! This is exactly what I want to do with this. I have embeddings for all the images but hadn’t figured out the last step to getting them onto a grid like that. Can’t wait to try this.
T-stochastic neighbour embedding
Very cool!

A long time ago I used to make mosaics of game-making competition screenshots https://williame.github.io/post/143376853353.html https://williame.github.io/post/127137593983.html

The algorithm for doing so is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_algorithm

It might be fun to offer some mosaic layouts as well as the embedding-based layouts?
