Photo Builder Powered By Vercel OG

So, I began working on a project called MediaDoodle that would help websites create featured images at scale. I was using JIMP, a JavaScript library for image manipulation. Later, I watched a keynote where Vercel released Vercel OG. It's cool to see that other developers recognized this as a challenge.

But at this time, I stopped working on MediaDoodle and started on another project. In my head, a photo builder is possible with Vercel OG, and it was just my imagination. Late one night, I decided to give it a go, and it honestly effortlessly came together. I was pretty geeked up.

When built, I was working on a SaaS for the restaurant space and left MediaDoodle in the background. But I knew I could reuse the code for MediaDoodle if I wanted to pursue that further in the future.

I know that due to COVID-19, QR codes became popular.

I also wanted to explore what was possible and how system administrators could tie data to a QR code when scanned. So I implemented a way to connect the QR codes to the graphic where the same design can be printed with a unique QR code on each design for an effortless admin experience.

Unfortunately, I had to discontinue that project, but we will see what the future brings. But is it possible. Big thanks to the team at Vercel.
