Description

### Is there an existing issue for this?

- [X] I have searched the existing issues.

### Describe the script

A script that uses Python and selenium to capture a screenshot of the webpage that the user wants to track

The screenshot is saved with the proper date and time to identify when it was taken

### Language

Python

### Is the feature request related to a problem? Please Specify.

Often we may want to check for certain updates or notifications which are posted to some website, but at the same time we may not want to check the site multiple times during the day

### Describe the solution you'd like.

This script automatically captures the state of the webpage and keeps track of it. It can be run as required from the terminal or be scheduled to run at some specific time (using Windows task scheduler or a Linux cronjob)

The user may then check the directory to check if there are any new updates

### Anything else?

An [example](https://imgur.com/a/Byy7MK5) screenshot of my college's notices page captured by the script
