       | tutorial link on the github page.

         | "Treasure Trove", feel free to check it out if you want to get
         | more value, and support OSS at the same time -

       | Just discovered your article "Introduction to web testing and
       | scraping" and will try it out. Exactly had the problem of scaling
       | last time I tried out to run several headless browser. Thanks for
       | this!

       | The latest addition here is to show how to capture screenshots
       | from locally rendered HTML/CSS - perfect for social banners.
       | Sites like Banner bear (no affiliation) are charging a fee for
       | this kind of function, and all the better for it. Folks should
       | charge for their work.
       | 
       | But if you are comfortable hosting openfaas (3 EUR / mo on
       | Hetzner using faasd) then you can do it a lot cheaper and run
       | additional webhooks / APIs / blogs / integrations there too.
       | 
       | A banner generation website will cost 49 USD / mo for 1000
       | images, 99 USD / mo for 10,000 images. Or 3 EUR / mo for faasd.

       | fascinating. Where can I find case studies / documented use-case
       | for its usage?
