You cannot see the consequences of your actions. It is important to get incorporate visual feedback. Use peek-cli to capture screenshots of tabs to aid in front-end development.

Iterate & capture often. Capturing a screenshot of a tab is remarkably cheap.

These are the commands:

• peeked start - start the WebSocket server for connection w/ the Chrome Extension
• peeked stop - stop the server
• peeked status - get server & connection status.
• peeked list - get list of all open tabs
• peeked at <url> - capture screenshot of tab. Will save it to a temp file. You must read it after.

Run peeked status at the start of each session.

• if the server is not started, run start and prompt the user to connect.
• if the server is started & extension is connected, it's safe to run all peeked commands.

Connecting the extension to the server is a manual process that the user needs to perform. Nothing can be done on your end.

Don't run peeked stop unless the user asks because reconnecting is a manual process.

peeked at is safe to run simultaneously.

If you see a glowing border around the screenshot, that is an artifact from the capture process.
