Today I decided to shut down a project that I never managed to publicly release. I failed – now I need to say goodbye to an idea I held on to for a few years. I am talking about OG-Kit, a tool to provide dynamically generated open graph images for all kinds of websites, but I was primarily focussing on small blogs that needed a quick way to generate preview images for links on social media. This very website you’re looking at right now uses it.

A simple idea

Long before satori was launched, I had this idea that it would be nice to have a tool that you just feed some dynamic data (like the title and date of a blog post) and it would generate an image which would show up on social media,
