A Node.js library that uses PhantomJS to render webpages, capture screenshots, and diff DOM changes (added/removed elements, text, and style changes) over time. It stores capture history and can show diffs between any two snapshots.

Use cases

• monitor a webpage for DOM changes over time
• capture webpage screenshots and diff them
• detect when page content or styles change
• track element additions and removals on a site
• build a UI showing history of page changes

When to choose

• you need headless webpage capture with DOM diffing on an older Node.js stack
• you want screenshot-based visual change detection with a companion UI (pmui)

When to avoid

• you need a maintained tool - it depends on the deprecated PhantomJS and hasn't been updated since 2020
• you need modern browser automation - use Puppeteer or Playwright instead
• you're on Windows and rely on npm-installed PhantomJS, which can't be spawned
