From the sources

HTML/CSS to Image is a super simple HTTP API for converting your html into an image. It supports emoji, gradients, drop shadows + custom fonts. Give it a try for auto generating images from your code.

Capture website screenshots, render HTML/CSS, or create templated graphics. Use MCP with AI, no-code automation, or the REST API. No browsers needed.

Turn HTML, live URLs, or reusable templates into images and PDFs with one API—without managing a browser. Teams use HCTI to power publishing workflows, internal reports, product features, and customer-facing tools. Shocked at how easy this was to get running. Pasted in the example, added my key. It just works . Write the markup, capture a live webpage, or fill a reusable template. Each path ends at the same image API—and you can try all three below. Use browser-native layout, fonts, and your existing design system for fully custom images. Capture a full page, exact viewport, or selected element from a live public webpage. Save the design once, then send structured values for every new image…from htmlcsstoimage.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
