Portfolio

Ruby Webshot Gem
Ruby Webshot Gem

Ruby Webshot gem will make nice webshots for you. I needed the webshot/screenshot functionality for one of my website and after trying few ruby gems currently available I found that they are not updated lately and that they are using depricated version of `PhantomJS`: 'webshot' [ https://github.com/vitalie/webshot ] 'screenshot'. Also, I had an issue with producing image CSS formatting when I used webshot gem. So, I decided to start building a gem for myself and to share with anyone who need something like this. The Ruby Webshot Gem uses the latest `Webdrivers`.
