#42Have people found many issues that come up in Chrome but aren't found in PhantomJS? We used to use a headless browser but switched to PhantomJS and haven't had any real issues. (We should probably run under the real IE but jut haven't been bothered.)

#43Any way of scripting this to automate button clicks etc? I use PhantomJS for this now but found it to be incredibly unstable for complex pages.
There is an excellent library called nightmare (based on electron). If you need print-screens you can use xvfb or wait for this issue: https://github.com/segmentio/nightmare/issues/224

#44It's a phantom js (and other headless browser) web service. Using the site, you can quickly create different tests, scheduled tests, chained tests, keep screen shots, create videos of multi step tests, and have historical information of it all.
Can't say enough good things about the site.
Edit: also there's a great chrome extension that will record your mouse clicks and keyboard commands to make creating a test that much simpler.

FWIW, you can do that now, using phantomjs (which is chrome) http://phantomjs.org/screen-capture.html
Also with https://wkhtmltopdf.org/ and http://pandoc.org/
(I've been using Prince for over a decade, rendering everything from prescription labels, packing slips, receipts, resumes, books, and more. It's great.)
