Built from the ground up for ease of use, performance, beautiful ui and portability in mind. 💖

Hxn in action 🚀

Help menu : Hxn utilizes clap for argument parsing. As expected, clap provides a much-improved help menu. The screenshot below shows Hxn's help menu when the -h flag is used.

use --help for full menu.

Taking screenshots of one/many urls. 🖇️

It doesn't matter, if you are parsing a single url or a file containing a list of urls, Hxn will handle itself. You don't need to worry about other flags.

v0.1.2 has an option to define browser binary #pr, by default it uses /usr/bin/chrome.

Single URL

$ hxn -b $(which <browserbin>) -u <url>

File containing more than one url. 🖇️

$ hxn -b <browserbin> -t <no. of tabs to open //ly> -u <url/filename> -o <outdir(default hxnshots)>

Define x/y 🐣 The latest release has an option to set height, width and --silent option.

$ hxn --height <height> --width <widht> --silent -url <url>

Panic if browser binary isn't found

Apparently if the browser binary is not found on the system hxn just panics.

There should be a better error message for this case, especially since the panic just mentions "No such file or directory" but not which path (semantically or the actual value) this refers to.

Haylxon works with brave
I build a haylxon from source , and it was tends to be work perfectly but its throw this error :

thread 'main' panicked at 'An error occurred while running :(: "Could not auto detect a chrome executable"', src/main.rs:50:10 note: run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 environment variable to display a backtrace

so basically it was searching for a chrome executable on my system . but it was not installed on my system , i have brave installed on my arch , so i resolved it by following trick :

Copy /usr/bin/brave /usr/bin/chrome and it did trick , just worked !!!!!!!

if anyone using brave and trying out haylxon then do this , it will work .
good first issue

refactor: upgrade to clap v4
Make the program work.

Make the program use clap v4.

There was a lot more errors than I expected initially after looking at the project, but needless to say it wasn't that difficult to upgrade.
