What are usecases of sharing text as image? Is it to force user type from from image or use OCR to get the text?
- conradludgate 7y agoFor situations where that text needs to be formatted a specific way but can't due to the platform. For example, twitter (where you can/should also include a pastebin, gist, gh repo, etc...) where having an image is better for retention/engagement
- squiggy22 7y agoWhere the code is illustrative not intended on being literal copy paste, and the sharing of text without formatting hinders readability and illustrative intent
- nkrisc 7y agoFor when you have shared your code as text but want a pretty hero image to go with it?
