  It's not clear what this does to me, even after playing around with it

    Layman explanation: automatically generate the image banner that you see when you paste your site/page URL into social media Do you think there's anything I can improve to make the site clearer?

      I guess I dont understand the use-case either, but that's okay - it's not for me, and plenty of others get it

  Neat, did that with https://phantomjs.org/screen-capture.html https://phantomjs.org/screen-capture.html years ago, have it still running in a container since PhantomJS isn't maintained and quite outdated. This reminds me I should move to Puppeteer (or equivalent) at some point.

  Hi, loved the idea when I read the title of the post, I was looking for something to create automates ograph images based on parameters set by me. After running it for my own site (philippdubach.com) it looks like it's just using a generic screen capture as the ograph image. Is it meant to be like that?

    At the moment, yes. I expect to add things like templates and titles soon.
