Side project outside my usual PHP world, but worth sharing.
I have a habit of Googling old websites just to see what they looked like. GitHub circa 2008. Wikipedia in 2003. The Wayback Machine has it all, but clicking through snapshots one at a time never gives you the full picture of how a site evolved.
So I built wayback-video - a Python CLI tool that takes a URL, pulls its entire Wayback Machine archive, renders each snapshot with a headless browser, and assembles everything into an MP4.
