👆 This hero shot of heroshot.sh is taken by heroshot ⚡️

Your app changes constantly. New features, design tweaks, bug fixes. Meanwhile, the screenshots in your README and docs quietly become lies.

The manual fix is tedious: open browser, navigate, log in, screenshot, crop, save, commit. Now do that for every image. Now do it again next month.

Heroshot fixes this. Define your screenshots once - point and click, no CSS selectors - and regenerate them with one command whenever you need.

npx heroshot

First run opens a browser with a visual picker. Click what you want, name it, done. Screenshots land in heroshots/, config saves to .heroshot/config.json. Next run regenerates everything headlessly.

6 screenshots from one config entry - always in sync with the live site.
