Take a screencap and return it as a stream. Today OSX. Tomorrow, CROSS PLATFORM!!!
var screencap = require('screencap-stream')
screencap.createReadStream()
.on('error', function(err) {
process.stderr.write(err.toString())
process.exit(-1)
})
.pipe(process.stdout)
var screencap = require('screencap-stream')
screencap(function(err, readStream) {
...
})
Install it:
npm install -g screencap-stream
Take a screenshot (png) and output to stdout:
screencap
And now add it to ipfs:
screencap | ipfs add
And for a publish one-liner
echo "http://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/"$(screencap | ipfs add -q)
Capture screenshots, publish them to IPFS, and copy the link to the clipboard.
