I'm building an app that takes a screenshot every hour from some news websites. It's is a small python script running on my raspberry pi 5 and for now I'm saving the images there. I'm planning to build a front-end app to explorer how each website changes over the course of a day, focusing only on the top of the landing page.

That reminds me of this project: https://media.ccc.de/v/33c3-7912-spiegelmining_reverse_engin...

Why screenshots and not copy the source?

Thanks for sharing the link. I believe dealing with the code adds a lot more complexity to my project. On the other hand, I’d like to visually compare the websites over time, which is easier to do using screenshots.
