I build a web service that preserves evidence of harassment on social platforms.
The core feature is a single thing: automatically capture a real screenshot of the offending post.
There was no substitute for it. I built an alternative that pulled the text through an API and rendered a tidy "evidence card" image, and threw it away. An image you can author freely afterwards proves nothing.
Here's the conclusion first. Third-party wrappers eventually die, and when they do, the failure comes back as a plausible-looking image rather than an error.
The first approach was refused by the other side
