Node/Electron addon for doing native screen capturing

Every screen capture library out there has strange APIs, or issues that make them unusable in some cases. For example the chromium getUserMedia has hard coded enforcement of the mouse cursor. Other desktop screenshot modules simply write an image file locally using third party tools. This library is intended to be a native node module for capturing simple full desktop screenshots cross platform, and return the actual pixel data to work with.

Currently only osx, and extremely basic.
