Blogging should be focused on writing great content. But writers, myself included, spend a ton of time creating link preview images to share on social.
Mugshot Bot automates the process, across your entire blog. Drop in one line of HTML and when you share your post on Twitter or Facebook a dynamic image is generated based on your content.
Pro accounts can automate images for their entire blog via a URL, including color and theme customizations. Free (forever!) accounts need to create images via the web UI first.
To celebrate the launch I've set aside some 50% off lifetime deals. There are a limited number available and will lock in your discounted rate forever. I hope you enjoy using Mugshot Bot as much as I enjoyed building it! Let me know if you have any questions on how I built it or what's coming next.
Being an agency, this tool helps us to much faster get og:image tags organised. Also, it organizes the design already. We want to focus on code and thus are not designers...

Does anyone know how to find the implementation / service in use at github for this? The blog post has no additional details, nothing. I dug deep into this topic a few weeks ago and actually build a svg + placeholder => png render service. Also found https://mugshotbot.com/, which seem quite nice, but my approach is more a "bring your own svg". - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago
You can see what kinds of properties you can see for media - I fed the URL of a video into embed.ly as that document suggested, but none of the fields returned gave me a video length... You may want to try with one of the images posted to your sub and see what properties you get. Maybe there's something else in the metadata you can search for that is common across the short videos.
