Show HN: Thumbsmith – Programmable “Link preview” thumbnails for your websites
thumbsmith.comHi HN,
I posted this a while back when I had just a small MVP and a had a little bit of feedback from here. A month of development later during Christmas, new years, and a lockdown, my first ever service that I'm not building for someone else is much more solid looking, and I would love to get some more honest feedback from the community here!
Thumbsmith is a tool for site owners and web developers that lets you easily add dynamic "Link preview" thumbnails to your site's pages. This way, when they are shared on the internet, a nice, on-brand, tailored picture can be shown instead of a generic photo.
It helps content-heavy startups increate their click through rates on their links, improve their site's sharing experience and gain insight on the visibility of their websites on the web.
There is a really nice CLI based on vitejs you can try out to help with making the thumbnails.
Let me know what you think, thank you so much!
(This has not gained any interest - I will try again at another time. Hope that's okay!)
