  • Social Media Cards with @vercel/og
    With an SVG we can define our image as code, which is pretty neat. But SVG is not able to wrap texts. We can use opentype.js to calculate the width of our texts and to wrap it manually. Finally we have to convert the SVG to a PNG, because the most of social media platforms do not support SVG. This approach could work, but requires a lot of code and it is very complicated. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
  • is there way to calculate the height of each letters?
    The repo is public so you can take a look if you're curious. I used opentype.js to convert the font into SVG in real-time. It was a PITA. Source: about 2 years ago
