Startup Archive 介绍

Startup Archive is a tool that enables founders to capture visual, interactive snapshots of their startup websites before shutting them down, preserving their work without ongoing hosting costs. These snapshots can be embedded into portfolios to showcase projects and are used to create visual changelogs for comparing changes over time. It targets indie builders and freelancers looking to save money and maintain a record of their entrepreneurial efforts.
