The website [1] is very strange. What does U.S. stand for? If I were to stumble on this I'd assume it was a fishing / scam website trying to impersonate the government. Bad vibes all around.

#13For anyone who might not be aware, Chrome also has the ability to save screenshots from the command line using: chrome --headless --screenshot="path/to/save/screenshot.png" --disable-gpu --window-size=1280,720 " https://www.example.com "
What features won't work without GPU?

I've been working at this startup for almost two years now and that page and branding etc has been changing a lot as you can imagine ...

The similarities with WhiteHouse.gov’s design can’t be much help either, I imagine.

It's one guy running his little AI startup fresh out of college. Claims to be a former national security analyst but makes no such claim on his LinkedIn.

#19Reminds me of this open source library I wrote to do the same thing: https://github.com/nextbigsoundinc/imagely
It uses puppeteer and chrome headless behind the scenes.
