@orliesaurus When you paste a link to a website in FB/Twitter/Slack/iMessage etc. it shows a preview (also known as unfurl) only if you have open graph tags. If you don't have them, Roast.io will detect this, take a screenshot of the page, and inject that screenshot for the open graph tags.

@jotto btw I am working on a similar thing for mashing data and DOM rendering and outputting images... Potentially pushing this "unfurling" phenomena further @ https://hivis.io

How does this compare to S3 hosting?

@hoonpark 1. S3 has latency issues when not used with AWS CloudFront 2. so you configure CloudFront, but now you have slow cache invalidation (no cache invalidation necessary with roast.io) 3. S3/CloudFront do not have atomic deploys so you can't just "update your files" without risking someone seeing broken content 4. roast.io has 3 additional cool features: screenshot unfurls, SEO reports, and server-side rendering (pre-rendering)
