   They took $10k from us a while back for similar reasons. We just signed up with a completely different account (with vpn) and fixed the concerns and made 10x more. You gotta play the game with Google.

   Very cool. Are you getting the images manually? I built something similar a while back but never took off. https://bookshulf.com/

   I bring back about 10 kilos of enset powder (kocho) every time I go to Ethiopia. It’s an incredibly healthy food.

   I got tired of firing up an image editor every time to create a simple open-graph/social image for my blog posts and built https://thumbnail.ai It's been a great time saver and a handful of people use it daily.

    Yes, but it must be instrumental (as in no vocals). Type in "jazz cafe" on youtube and you will find 5-6hr versions of easy listening music as background noise. The trick is to have the volume really really low.

    Hey joe, I actually haven't had scaling issues yet since the requests are relatively few but I run it on a cpu optimized server so that might be helping out. As for getting a relevant image I use pixabay.com, their TOS and database is

    Not your fault btw, there were words with spaces appended to end of your image url's which I needed to encode.

    It searches for an image only if the post doesn't have an image already. AVC and PG's in this case don't include pics so it made one. It will get better in v2. This is just the mvp version.

    Yeah, that might be the way to go long term? but I wanted to ship fast and get something that works out in the field.

    Thanks egor. Are you also purposely not using title tags and description tags as well? I ran a couple pages from your site and they're all the same. May not be good for SEO as well.

    This is for opengraph. It gives you a nice image you can link to in the open graph meta tags.

    There were a lot of features that I did not build because it would take more than a week. I think automation will be important once I get a steady amount of users.
