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.
I have previously created small desktop apps in electron and NW. These were functionally strong, but extremely large and had long load times. With neutralino JS I was able to create the same tools with less effort (both in creation and compilation). I was able to reduce the size of the tools from >300 MB to under 3 MB. Neutralino JS is clearly the better choice for me.
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...
Based on our record, NeutralinoJS should be more popular than Mugshot Bot. It has been mentiond 19 times since March 2021. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
We tried using pywebview for a cross-platform desktop app when it was version 3.x and some of the features were limited, especially when it came to systray interactions. Will have to try it out again. In the end, for that specific project, we ended up settling on NeutralinoJS. Wails was another big contender but due to limited GoLang resources in-house, we decided not to use it. Reference: https://neutralino.js.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
There's always https://neutralino.js.org/ which uses native WebView components to keep itself rather smaller than Electron. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
I've been drawn to NeutralinoJS as it looks like it will do what I want, but I'm willing to hear some other recommendations and maybe tutorials on how to do the objectively simple things I've outlined above. Source: 10 months ago
Doing some research about Photino, I also found Tauri and Neutralinojs. Source: about 1 year ago
Yes. You need a wrapper for the game though. Something like https://neutralino.js.org/ should be enough. Source: about 1 year ago
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
