I'm working on this: https://newshots.simplecto.com

Remember when we/our parents would save newspapers and magazines of significant events? We lost that now that so many publications have gone 100% digital.

This site is an exploration of that idea.

It makes recurring screenshots of different/ popular/niched news sites and magazines from around the world.

It builds on the simple screenshot site, a separate open-souce screenshot-as-a-service project.

I should mention the Newseum's "Todays Front Pages"[1] site had the same idea long before I did. This exists in the context of a proper Mesuem with dedicated resources and curators. Their front pages are really nice, high fidelity PDFs of the dailies. They also offer mobile applications. Check them out!
