Hi 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!
