Mia (web luddite) on Nostr: Seeing a lot of posts about generating OpenGraph images for 11ty posts, and suddenly ...
Seeing a lot of posts about generating OpenGraph images for 11ty posts, and suddenly realized my new approach will fail.
I generate an html page, and I just want to snapshot that page in a build step. Right now it's looking for a URL, but (obviously) the URL doesn't exist yet. That's the point.
But all the other approaches involve non-html image generation, or HTML/CSS limitations. And I don't want to do that. I just want my thing to work, please. Thanks.
