#13Renders fonts horrendously like I haven't seen in 5+ years. Is this produced on Linux with FreeType? Looks like you don't have TrueType hinting enabled.
My first attempt didn't produce anything the first two minutes I waited. I assume it timed out. You may want to look into providing some kind of feedback if the queue is long, for example, so that I can adjust my expectations accordingly. (Although realistically, I'd never bother to use something that didn't produce an image within 5 seconds.)

#14Doesn't load external fonts from services like Google web fonts so it creates inaccurate screenshots for a lot of websites. An issue with QtWebkit, that is assuming this uses PhantomJS. example (quicksand font not loaded): http://instantscreenshot.com/screenshot/ac http://www.google.com/webfonts/specimen/Quicksand
I just got it working with PhantomJS and I must agree it does look a lot better. The problem with external fonts is still there so I'll have to crack open QtWebkit to see if we can't fix that.

#15What library are you using?
To grab the screenshots I'm using PhantomJS. The webapp itself is running on the Play framework though.
