🎁 The Dev-First OpenGraph (OG) Image Tool You Need (50% Off Lifetime Access!)

Hey dev community! Ever spent an hour in Figma just to create a simple social preview image? Yeah, me too. That frustration led me to build Gleam.so, and today I'm excited to share what we've created together (with lots of feedback from this amazing community!).

The Breaking Point 💭

Two months ago, I was updating social images for my blog. Open Figma, create new file, set dimensions, add text, export, test on Twitter, realize text is too small, repeat...

You know the drill. 2 hours later, I still wasn't happy with the results.

That's when I thought: "We're developers. We should be able to solve this better."

What We've Built 🛠️

Gleam.so is what I wish existed when I needed OG images:

• Design everything in one place - no more jumping between tools
• Preview instantly across different platforms
• Export only when perfect - try everything for free
• Developer-focused workflow - it just makes sense
