Description
hi @zachleat @gerwitz and team,
First off, keep up the amazing work and looking forward to v1!
This is a proposal. What do you folks feel if the list of starter projects had automatically generated screenshots per entry.
I was thinking of using puppeteer (headless Chrome driver) to generate screenshots for the demo sites at build time. Pictures really add a lot of value e.g. Hugo Theme Gallery.
I have a working prototype but wanted to gather thoughts before going too far: PR, Demo.
I am no CSS expert - so I am totally open to styling and other presentation tweaks.
Eventually this idea can also be extended to Source Code Samples.

Research direction
Start with the starter projects documentation at /docs/starter/ and review the linked prototype pull request and demo. Clarify whether build-time Puppeteer screenshots are wanted, how they should be presented, and how the generated entries will be maintained. Done should mean the agreed screenshot workflow is implemented for the starter project list.
