         | Thanks thomaspttn :) I built it to streamline the process of
         | creating OpenGraph images since it was the part I enjoyed the
         | least about writing and sharing content on Social Media
         | platforms.

       | Cool. Do you plan to monetize it somehow?

         | Thanks! Right now there is a paid option ($19 / year) where
         | users can remove the watermark and eventually have access to
         | more templates and features.
         | 
         | I also plan on exposing an API which will likely be paid.

       | I hope this is useful to you fadymak- the page load is quite slow
       | for me, and returning to it the second time was equally slow.

         | Hey Jason :wave: I've noticed that too - I believe the traffic
         | spike from HackerNews is adding some pressure. It usually loads
         | pretty quick (a few 100 ms max).
         | 
         | It's hosted on Vercel.

         | Pretty unfortunate timing

         | Hey adonese! I'm definitely planning on exposing an API in the

         | Sorry about that. I was weighing the pro/con of waiting for
         | support to be released or adding a polyfill but it seems that

           | 
           | Looks like a very good API, glad to have learned about it!
