Hi All! I'm very excited to show you Vanity Post, the project started as a way to poke fun at LinkedIn gurus who always post images of their posts with fake verified logos and more. But having now built it, I think it's an extremely effective way of engaging with your audience, particularly when using the video generation feature. It allows for a more chat-like experience where your audience can view your post as if you're personally typing it at the moment. The feature list is quite small at the moment but we hope to add LinkedIn support in the near future once we can work around their very restrictive API! Please give it a try at https://vanitypo.st or try converting one of your existing tweet to an image or video using our Tweet URL: https://vanitypo.st/tweet/156853...

Cool idea. How long did it take you to build it?

@pausx Hey there! It took about two weeks of evenings, most of that spent figuring out how to turn the DOM into a video and playing with FFMPEG.wasm. Was pretty fun to deep dive into video creation on the client side ๐Ÿ˜
