I'm constantly looking at multiple sites for references, I was collecting them using an old Mac App called Ember. It's great at what it did but was no longer under development.
Good Internet Online started as a place to upload the 1500 screenshots i had taken of websites over the years, but i decided to keep it a bit more niche.
A cron job scrapes Designer News Site Design category everyday, if a new one is found it takes screenshots using the headless browser PhantomJS, grabs a bit of metadata and uploads to DatoCMS. This triggers Netlify to build and deploy the site.
More recently i've become a fan of are.na
The bits:
- Netlify CI ↗
- Heroku ↗ Daily Schedular with a Node script
- Metalsmith ↗
- Pageres ↗ (uses PhantomJS)
- DatoCMS ↗
