My decade long, carefully maintained collection of 700+ handy web dev & design bookmarks. Delve in to my toolkit!
Sure! PHP makes it really simple. I use https://github.com/spatie/browsershot that just makes its way through a JSON feed of the links on a cronjob. I host a lot of stuff on a single VPS so its super flexible.
