You can do this in Uber's current state. There are already people sending their kids to school with Uber.

I wonder why craigslist hasn't shut down http://housingmaps.com yet. They appear to be doing the exact same thing as padmapper and mapskrieg, albeit with a much smaller feature set.

Nicely done. I released something similar a month ago: http://instantscreenshot.com

Do you plan on charging for this at some point? I've noticed my bandwidth costs are double due to the traffic coming to my site and the traffic my site generates to get the screenshot.

To grab the screenshots I'm using PhantomJS. The webapp itself is running on the Play framework though.

I just got it working with PhantomJS and I must agree it does look a lot better. The problem with external fonts is still there so I'll have to crack open QtWebkit to see if we can't fix that.

Thanks. I'll put it on the list.

As for PhantomJS, I hadn't heard of it. I was originally rendering the screenshots with Selenium and the FirefoxDriver. They came out looking good, but performance was abysmal and when a page froze up I needed a mechanism to kill firefox manually.

Now I'm using Wordpress's Mshots service, but I'm looking at a couple of python tools to generate headless screenshots.

I'm not sure how useful is for everyone else, but I always thought grabbing a screenshot of a url could be improved.
