Creating a Lighthouse Gatherer to generate high-res screenshots for your Audit
I needed higher resolution screenshots for an ML model to classify elements on a webpage, but the default Lighthouse screenshot was too compressed. So, I created a custom Lighthouse Gatherer using Puppeteer. This gatherer captures a full-page, high-resolution screenshot encoded as base64 and returns it along with the device pixel ratio. This was a fun little project, and the code is surprisingly concise. However, future Lighthouse versions may include higher-resolution screenshots, making this gatherer redundant.
