I built something very similar last year and still reference it all the time: https://www.dailysitesnap.com https://www.dailysitesnap.com There's a payment form but I never hooked anything up -- it's all free. You can sign up to have a screenshot of any URL emailed to you on a daily basis, or opt out of emails and just have it archived on the site. I've been collecting daily screenshots of ~20 public web sites for the last few months: https://www.dailysitesnap.com/public https://www.dailysitesnap.com/public EDIT: fixed embarrassing typo, good morning everyone!

HN discussion from first iteration, SiteGazer: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6612286 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6612286 But when I turned it into a real service, there was virtually no interest: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6654544 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6654544 zrail, I've got some Ruby code that hits Selenium to take these screenshots. Email adam at cameralends if you're interested, you can have it too.
