This is a neat idea but the screaming bird sounds on the page, however possibly relevant to the service name, made me instantly close the site. It's loud and unpleasant.

Absolutely. Cute idea, but unfortunately awful in practice.

A screenshot of a tweet is already a low fidelity capture (cf. a web archive). Why would I want to alter it further?

If I needed a tweet to look better than it actually does irl, I would screenshot something from Mastodon or Pleroma instead.

If I need to screenshot a tweet at a high resolution, I'm going to do this in any Gecko-based browser with <my own enhanced system font rendering preferences>.

If the screenshot needs to be larger-than-life, I'm going to use any of the puppeteer-based tools for this.

If I'm one of those godawful aggregators that needs square images with colorful patterned wallpapers behind the tweets, I have to use my library of cursed wallpapers and whatever shitware macro has already been written for the job.

What’s the use case for this? I wanna be excited but I think I’m missing something

I created a similar service without the sound : https://tweetcyborg.com/
