Looks cool, somebody should make a package that puts a nice API around it. However seems that those APIs are only in Chrome now, not Firefox or Safari.
IMO it's simple enough to just write directly without library code.
For most cases, the Element Capture or Region Capture API should be sufficient: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen_Capt...

If you need cross-browser compatibility (and can't just use a canvas) then yeah html2canvas is the way to go
idk, your code is 170 lines, html2canvas and similar are 1 line to use.
