Show HN: OG Image API – Generate social preview images from JSON ogimageapi.io 1 points by malachi_dev 2 hours ago
malachi_dev 2 hours ago Hey HN! I built this because every time I shipped a side project, I'd either skip OG images entirely or waste hours in Figma making one.Existing solutions (Bannerbear, Placid) charge $49-149/mo which felt crazy for indie projects making $0.Technical details: - Node.js + @napi-rs/canvas (not Puppeteer — way faster) - ~50-100ms generation time - Vercel serverless - 10 templatesFree tier is 25 images/mo, then $9-299 based on volume.Would love feedback on the API design or template suggestions!
