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...
As a former classroom teacher of French and Spanish, English Language Arts, and Social Studies, my business now is creating resources for language teachers to tell stories and teach about culture, geography, history, and other content...in a language that may be quite new to the students. So, with that kind of work, you can bet I am always on the lookout for the best tools to visually scaffold the information so it is easier to understand through pictures, icons, and other design elements. I use Storyboard That almost every single day in my work on these materials. Since the resources are for (mostly) children and teens, I prefer a comic or cartoon-y style. Storyboard That is my go-to "character generator." I use it to make and pose characters into scenes and then I combine these groups of characters with Canva, to create PNGs that I then make into presentations for giving mini-lessons in class, texts for kids to read in class, etc. For me, Canva AND Storyboard That together are the perfect solution, and the price is right, for my purposes, as Pixton (which integrates directly with Canva) charges about $500 a year for the rights to replicate your work using their library for commercial purposes, whereas Storyboard That is only $12 or so a month, which includes that permission level for your original compositions. Pixton without that level of permission is about $40 a month, so you would need to think about what the integration of the two would be worth for you in terms of efficiency or the available images and effects in Pixton. For $144 a year, Storyboard That is an excellent option for me. And for free, you can create three active storyboards at a time, so you could potentially use it and never pay a dime.

What an amazing story the one from Joe where he tells us how he built, scaled, and sold MugShotBot in 14 months! - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
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
