This looks like a great product! Can I ask you want sets you apart from other services in this market like Vercel's og-image [0] or other more marketing-heavy sites that let you have more control and customization?
Also, I'm really curious what this will cost when you release it as a service? What do you think something like this is worth to people? Is it like a $20/year service or like $1,000/year? Are you going after mostly consumers and indie devs or big corporations?

- joemasilotti 6y agoThank you, I appreciate the feedback! Mugshot Bot is meant to get out of your way. There’s zero configuration, no setup, and very little effort required. Vercel, hosted, requires you visit the site and punch in some information. Or host it yourself. You can add a Mugshot to your site without evening visiting the landing page. For example, let’s say you blog at masilotti.com. Just set your og:image to `https://www.mugshotbot.com/m?url=https://masilotti.com` https://www.mugshotbot.com/m?url=https://masilotti.com`. That’s literally it. No downloading, no account, no setup. My goal is to always keep a free plan with the branding in the bottom. I haven’t figured out exactly the pricing yet, but I’ll be looking at indies and small blogs. So expect something closer to $20 vs. $1000 per year.
