I'll make a social image for your best GitHub repo

Hey folks! Joe here from Mugshot Bot.

I'm launching a new feature soon but wanted to give the Indie Hacker community a sneak peek.

Send me a link to your best GitHub repo and I'll create a custom social image.

You can upload this on the settings page of the repo - it will be used when you share on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.

Here are a few examples. Feel free to ask for a specific color or hex code!

      Cool repo! I might dive into this this weekend, I'm kicking off some Android development soon. Anyways, here's two renders of your image. You can upload one in /settings of the repo. Enjoy!

        Nice!

        Out of curiosity, are you planning on having a feature that can auto-replace these images (since they have dynamic values in them - e.g. star count)?

          I would love to! Unfortunately until GitHub adds that API endpoint there's now way to automate this. You will have to download and upload a new one each time.

          If it helps, I update mine about every week and it takes ~1 minute per repo.
