Who uses Snapshot.so
Researchers, journalists, professionals, and curious readers use Snapshot.so to build a personal library of posts from the public web.
The problem
The web is ephemeral. Posts get deleted, edited, and lost every day.
Post goes live
A senator tweets a policy position. It gets thousands of engagements.
Post gets deleted
After backlash, the tweet disappears at 2 AM. The record is gone.
But it's in your library
Snapshot.so saved it with a permanent timestamp. Searchable forever.
Professional use cases
Four fields where saving and rediscovering public posts is part of the workflow.
Political Accountability
Capture statements from officials before they're walked back or deleted. Build verifiable timelines with permanent timestamps.
Legal Discovery & Compliance
Preserve posts for discovery before opposing parties delete them. Server-stamped captures hold up where screenshots don't.
Academic Research
Archive posts for discourse analysis with permanent references. Build datasets that survive even when 40% of original posts get deleted.
Brand & Threat Intelligence
Document threats, impersonation, and coordinated campaigns with permanent timestamps, even after accounts get suspended.
Community & culture
From fan communities to online debates. People who take the public web seriously.
Fan Communities
When labels and executives delete promises, fans need proof. Server-timestamped receipts can't be dismissed as "photoshopped."
Online Debates
Surface contradictions with timestamped receipts. Hold public figures accountable to their own words, not your memory.
Critics & Reviewers
Capture endorsements and paid promotions the moment they're published, before they get scrubbed after controversy.
Political Campaigns
Systematic capture of opponent statements. Track position changes with before/after timestamped snapshots for opposition research.
