Shareddit - share reddit posts and comments as images

shareddit is the better way to screenshot reddit posts. I got the idea from my disdain for scribbled-out usernames and the poor composition of most reddit screenshots I see! The iOS app Apollo actually has this functionality built-in, but with less features ;)

Here's a few example images: https://imgur.com/a/qdk0uy1

After nearly 5 months of [intermittent] development, I'm finally happy enough with it to start getting the word out there again.

Here's a quick breakdown of the features:

Censor usernames
Censor subreddit from generated image
Dark mode
Size slider for embedded images
Choose between Ubuntu, Varela Round or Roboto fonts
Support for image albums
Support for link posts (thumbnail is shown)
Support for video posts (thumbnail is shown)
Comments-only mode, with ability to select the first and last comment to display

I also learned lots about web apps in general and have started to hone in on my go-to "stack". It's hosted on Netlify and Linode; assuming I fall within Netlify's generous free tier, the whole project only costs about $6.50/month to run.

I'm not done yet, though. There are at least a handful of things I'd like to do before putting this project away. If you find any bugs or have ideas for features, you can make an issue on the GitHub (https://github.com/logankuzyk/shareddit/). I also appreciate any UI/UX advice you have to offer!

I hope you like it!
