Here's a vibe-coded "servo-shot" CLI tool which uses this crate to render an image of a web page: https://github.com/simonw/research/tree/main/servo-crate-exp...

  git clone https://github.com/simonw/research
  cd research/servo-crate-exploration/servo-shot
  cargo build
  ./target/debug/servo-shot https://news.ycombinator.com/
Here's the image it generated: https://gist.github.com/simonw/c2cb4fcb15b0837bbc4540c3d398c...

That's pretty cool. I'm guessing it would need some tweaking to handle things like cookies, or does it just need a pointer to the cookiejar? I'm not too familiar with servo,

This is super useful! I have immediate use for this.

Do you know if Servo is 100% Rust with no external system dependencies? (ie, can get away with rustls only?)

Can this do Javascript? (Edit: Rendering SPAs / Javascript-only UX would be useful.)

Edit 2: Can it do WebGL? Same rationale for ThreeJS-style apps and 3D renders. (This in particular is right up my use case's alley.)
