FYI clicking on the "TinySnap Blog" nav header navigates to `https://89.58.35.145/` instead of the blog home page for me

Well, I wasn't able to reproduce the issue.

Clicking on the "TinySnap Blog" leads to https://blog.tinysnap.app.

May I know your location and browser version? I'll try to locate the issue and fix it.

Yeah it's weird. I can see in the inspector that the element's href points to that url.

- This is my user agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/104.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

- I'm in Japan

- the initial request to the url results in a 301 redirect to that IP

- same result in incognito mode

- works on my iPhone Safari and MacOS Safari

- I get 3 warning messages on Chrome with same message `crbug/1173575, non-JS module files deprecated.` but not on Safari

So it's looking like some weird Chrome issue

Hey! I will try this extension, thanks for making.

I share screenshots of HTML pages on Twitter and I often struggle while taking the screenshot which can also suit to twitter’s resolution requirement. Any idea how to do it better? Can this tool help me?

dearroyOP3y ago

Yes, it does.

For myself, the screenshots I made for HTML pages work perfectly on Twitter.

And we are releasing a new version this Friday, which includes the ratio dimensions of popular social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Instagram, etc.

If that is what you are looking for, you may subscribe to our newsletter and get an update when it's ready.
