The implementation is really dope 🔥 No more, SDKs, including JavaScript snippets, just render a URL with data and you get an custom designed, top-quality social image 👏 I started using it on my blog, here's my design 👇 https://snaplink.dev/290879aeb9?...

I really like it! Have a look at Bannerbear, Placid.app Robolly and others. Hope you will develop this further. Maybe launch a marketplace for more designs? What would be really great is to be able to define the name of the image generated. And then this could bcome a cool bulk image generator for no coders if you offer a google sheets template.

@torsten_p Glad you like it! We looked at other image generation products but couldn't find enough customization there, so we made it! And I agree, the next step should probably be heading towards no-code solutions

This is amazing. How are you generating images on the server, through canvas, or by headless browser? Congrats on the launch.

@basharath Glad you like it! Images are generated on the server by a headless browser (chromium engine)

Hey PH, Snaplink.dev co-founder here 👋   Social preview images are designed to show users a snippet of your webpages when shared: it's the first thing users see, like a storefront, a social preview image should be informative and awesome. Strangely, we often see websites using the same static preview image on all their pages, or sometimes no preview image at all. Even big sites like Reddit and Twitter show boring and unhelpful previews on most of their pages… Why? Because creating social previews that changes according to dynamic page content is a real headache for developers. We built Snaplink to provide an easy way for developers to generate beautiful dynamic preview images programmatically. It does that by generating images on-the-fly from a template you design in HTML / CSS and variables injected in the URL itself. Here are a few example templates: Zink.tips profile pages (preview of the user with some metrics): https://snaplink.dev/11ec144ef0?... Feather blog articles (showing article title, author, etc...): https://snaplink.dev/0fc7eca4e9?...   Features: - Plug-and-play online editor - Design your social preview with HTML / CSS and {{vars}} - One-line integration in your code - Free and no account required

Are images generated at a set time interval? Else how does it show changes in real time?
