Animated Screenshots
by Dmytro KrasunA few months ago, a potential customer approached me and asked if I supported scrolling screenshots. I answered—no, and said I could develop the feature in a few days if they could wait. But they decided not to wait and abandoned the usage of my API.
And this day, I am planning to build a beautiful landing page directory, so I decided why not to implement animated screenshots and showcase them in the project.
So, meet animated screenshots in ScreenshotOne. There is still a lot of work for improvement, but they started to work. And I am happy to share this milestone.
I send it to my current customers, and many of them have very positive feedback and are going to use the feature.
Have a nice day. Any updates on your project?

Hey,
That’s honestly a really nice comeback. Losing a user like that hurts, but the way you turned it into a useful feature is impressive. Animated screenshots sound super useful, especially for showcasing real experiences. I’ve been noticing more demand for features like scrolling and dynamic screenshots lately. While exploring, I came across this API as well https://geekflare.com/api/screenshot/ interesting to see how others are handling similar use cases.
Good progress overall, excited to see where you take it next :) -

How many customers have suggested the animated screenshots feature to justify adding it?
If it was just one customer, then I would focus more on what's at hand and other areas of your product rather than adding a feature that very few people might care about.
As for my product, things have been going smoothly. We are almost ready to launch our stable diffusion API.
