Roadmap

  • Add print command
  • Add support for http:// inputs in addition to local file paths
  • Add screenshot command
  • Add compatibility with wkhtmltopdf parameters to provide a drop-in replacement?
  • Detect .json or .js files as input to screenshot command instead of a single HTML file or URL, specifying a set of screenshots to capture in series
