I built OpenGraphPlus.com to automate one of the most painful parts of writing and sharing articles: creating a decent Open Graph image that get people to click on the thing when I share it on Twitter or in private group chats on Apple Messages, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. What I'm launching today is the culmination of me deploying this to many of the websites I operate, and rolling what I...

OpenGraph+Automatic Open Graph images for every page
OpenGraph+ automatically generates clean, up to date Open Graph images for every page on your site.
Links are shared more in Slack, iMessage, Discord, Teams, and group chats than on social feeds, but most sites still ship broken or generic previews. Fixing this usually means manual images or custom renderers that fall out of sync.
OpenGraph+ captures your pages, renders social cards, and keeps them updated as content changes without running a renderer in your app or designing images by hand.

I built this because I got tired of Rails not really having an opinion of building UIs with components and lots of Rails shops reach for React or Vue.js to do this, but end up adding a bunch of unnecessary bloat to their application. I was also CTO for a large Rails app that had a mess of Rails templates, views, partials, and JS frameworks so I figured I'd share what I learned in the videos so...

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built this because Rails frontends get messy. ERB templates, partials, and helpers turn into a tangled mess as your app grows. Phlex gives you Ruby-first components that are easier to test, reuse, and scale. This course shows you how to use it for real projects, whether you're starting fresh or integrating into a legacy app. What makes this different is it's not just syntax...

I helped the hardware startup TRMNL (not to be confused with Terminalwire) bring a command-line to market in a few days. The initially thought a command-line tool would be too expensive to ship until they realized Terminalwire eliminates most of the infrastructure required to ship a traditional CLI app. If you want to talk about how Terminalwire can work with your stack, hit me up on here or at...

I found myself reading the news way too much a few years ago, so I built this news website that publishes the news only once per day without any images, videos, ads, or all the other insanity that's displayed on news websites these days. It grabs the latest newsworthy headlines off of Wikipedia and displays it in a minimal UI that's free of distractions and insanely fast, which I define as...

We’ve been using competitions at Poll Everywhere all-hands meetings for a few months and its been so much fun. We’ve found that its a much better way to deliver important information to our team because we tap into people’s visceral competitive spirit, which means they actually *want* to pay attention. Contrast that with an audience that tunes out on their phones and laptops as a presenter...
