Quick Update: Making OpenGraph (OG) Image Creation More Accessible 🎨
Hey IH! Quick follow-up to my previous post about gleam.so. After hearing your feedback, I've made gleam.so much more accessible:
What's New: "Design First, Pay Later" ✨
Now everyone can:
- Preview ALL premium templates (no restrictions!)
- Try ALL preset sizes
- Design & customize everything
- See exactly how it looks
You only pay when you're ready to export your perfect OG image.
Why This Change?
Three key insights from talking with users:
- People want to make sure the tool fits their style before committing
- Design process needs to be friction-free
- Trust is built through actual usage
Some Numbers From Last Week
- 100+ developers tried the editor
- Most common feedback: "Let me try everything first"
- Average time spent in editor: 8 minutes
- Top request: More size presets (now available to all!)
What's Next?
- Adding more templates based on the gallery examples
- Improving export options
- Working on API access feature
Try It Out!
Would love your feedback on the new approach: gleam.so
Questions for the community:
- What other friction points should I remove?
- Which templates would you like to see next?
- What's your ideal pricing model for tools like this?
