- Added Buffer polyfill for Workers environment
- Replaced deprecated
page.waitForTimeout()

3. Documentation #
- ✅ PLAN.md - Project roadmap and progress tracking

- ✅ DEV-SETUP.md - Local development and debugging workflow
- ✅ MIGRATION.md - Migration strategy from Netlify to Cloudflare
⚠️ Pending: Custom Domain Setup #
The worker is fully functional but needs custom domain configuration.
Automated Deployment (Recommended - 2 minutes): #
One command does everything:
cd /workspaces/aesthetic-computer/grab
./scripts/deploy-with-dns.fish
This will:
- ✅ Deploy worker to Cloudflare
- ✅ Automatically create/update CNAME record
- ✅ Wait for DNS propagation
- ✅ Verify deployment
Prerequisites:
- Set
CLOUDFLARE_EMAILin/aesthetic-computer-vault/grab/.env - Set
CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKENin vault/.env (get from https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens)
See full guide: AUTOMATED-DEPLOYMENT.md
Manual Methods (if preferred): #
Quick DNS Method (2 minutes):
- Open DNS Settings: https://dash.cloudflare.com/a23b54e8877a833a1cf8db7765bce3ca/aesthetic.computer/dns/records
- Add CNAME record:
- Name:
grab - Target:
aesthetic-grab.aesthetic-computer.workers.dev - Proxy: Enabled (orange cloud)
- Name:
- Wait: ~30 seconds
- Test:
curl -I "https://grab.aesthetic.computer/icon/128x128/prompt.png"
Alternative: Workers Dashboard Method (5 minutes):
- Go to: Workers & Pages → aesthetic-grab → Settings → Domains & Routes
- Click: "Add Custom Domain"
- Enter:
grab.aesthetic.computer - Wait: 2-5 minutes
All methods work identically - automated script is fastest!
🧪 Testing Status #
Production Testing (Workers.dev URL) #
# Icon endpoint
curl -I "https://aesthetic-grab.aesthetic-computer.workers.dev/icon/128x128/prompt.png"
# ✅ Returns: HTTP/2 200, content-type: image/png, 399 bytes
# Preview endpoint
curl -I "https://aesthetic-grab.aesthetic-computer.workers.dev/preview/1200x630/prompt.png"
# ✅ Returns: HTTP/2 200, content-type: image/png, 5.1KB
Query Parameters Verified #
Logs show correct URL construction:
Taking screenshot: 128x128 of https://aesthetic.computer/prompt?icon=128x128
Taking screenshot: 1200x630 of https://aesthetic.computer/prompt?preview=1200x630
After Custom Domain Setup #
# These URLs will work once custom domain is configured:
curl "https://grab.aesthetic.computer/icon/128x128/prompt.png"
curl "https://grab.aesthetic.computer/preview/1200x630/prompt.png"
🚀 Next Steps #
Immediate (Required for Production) #
- Configure custom domain
grab.aesthetic.computervia Cloudflare Dashboard - Test live integration on aesthetic.computer
- Check og:image meta tags:
curl -I https://aesthetic.computer/prompt | grep og:image - Test social media previews (Twitter, Discord, etc.)
- Verify favicons loading correctly
- Check og:image meta tags:
Short-term (Development Workflow) #
-
Add to dev stack (optional but recommended)
- Run
wrangler devin Emacs web panel - Monitor logs during local development
- Test screenshot generation locally
- Run
-
Production monitoring (after custom domain setup)
- Monitor Cloudflare dashboard for errors
- Check cache hit rates
- Validate performance metrics
- Test with various pieces (wipe, line, video, etc.)
Long-term (After Validation Period) #
- Cleanup old implementation (1 week after validation)
- Remove
/system/netlify/functions/screenshot.js - Remove Puppeteer from Netlify dependencies
- Update any remaining documentation
- Remove
📊 Performance Comparison #
Before (Netlify Functions + Puppeteer) #
- Cold start: ~15-20 seconds
- File-based caching
- Self-hosted Puppeteer
- Limited concurrent execution
After (Cloudflare Workers + Browser Rendering API) #
- Worker startup: 13ms ⚡
- Cold browser start: ~8-10 seconds
- Cached responses: < 1 second ✨
- Browser reuse: ~3-5 seconds
- Edge caching (24 hours)
- Browser caching (1 hour)
- Globally distributed
- Automatic scaling
🔍 Implementation Details #
URL Construction Logic #
The worker matches the original screenshot.js behavior:
Icon requests:
/icon/128x128/prompt.png → https://aesthetic.computer/prompt?icon=128x128
Preview requests:
/preview/1200x630/prompt~wipe.png → https://aesthetic.computer/prompt~wipe?preview=1200x630
This ensures the aesthetic.computer client renders at the correct resolution.
Caching Strategy #
- Browser Cache: 1 hour (
Cache-Control: public, max-age=3600) - CDN Cache: 24 hours (Cloudflare edge)
- Browser Session Reuse: Durable Objects keep browsers alive for 60 seconds
Error Handling #
- Canvas detection with timeout
- Browser crash recovery
- Graceful fallback for unsupported resolutions
- Detailed error logging
