I made a free tool that generates Open Graph images for GitHub repos.
I work in open source and was tired of sharing ugly links on Twitter and Facebook. This is how they usually look.
One day I realized GitHub lets you upload a custom image, so I started making some templates. I figured I could work it into Mugshot Bot and use the GitHub API.
That eventually turned into a full product! Itβs free to use. And it can create some nice Open Graph images for your open source projects.
Here's what that same repo looks like now. π»
I use the GitHub API to pull in a few stats from the repo:
π stars
π language
π΄ forks
β open issues

There's three different themes and you can customize the color and background pattern. Earlier this week a few folks helped me beta test - here's what they created!
If you give it a try, reply with your repo and I'll check it out. Happy hacking folks! π

Thanks Brayden! And double thanks for helping beta test earlier this week.
