It might be worth noting this won’t work on DEV as they intercept and self host all images.

Only way you could do this on DEV is to put the image in a codepen or similar so you can control the image source.

Useful for emails though!

Yes I assumed that since we are going to notify ourself(create the function) we obviously well be using our own SS code

Would you like to get notified when someone opens your dev.to article..

You opened the article with being able to track DEV articles, so I just thought I would point out that you can't actually do it on DEV without the workaround I suggested of putting it in a codepen.

Nothing wrong with your implementation, just a limitation of the fact that DEV controls the images, even if you point them to your own server in the markdown!
