They have experimental support for taiwind: https://og-playground.vercel.app/?share=xVRNb9swDP0rgoahl6h2...
Thanks! Not to discourage anyone from using Vercel services if they’re interested (y’all are doing great stuff on this and lots of other fronts), but! I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out the unpublished-but-MIT-licensed repo I could find.
For anyone else who’s curious it looks like the pertinent source[1] can be self-hosted. I’m on mobile so I’m gonna limit my peering into the source, but it appears to wrap Chromium to do the PNG generation. Quite a bit different from my solution (which takes SVG-producing JSX and anything producing CSS, and renders to PNG with Sharp).
I’m curious how much overhead using Chromium adds, and whether alternatives like Sharp were considered.

Interesting.
I was thinking that this was going to be a crazy amount of layout engine work, but now I look a little closer it appears the layout work is farmed out to yoga [0] (not trying to take away anything from the effort here). So this project is almost a wrapper around running yoga as a renderer and using SVG as a form of backend target?
I say "appears" because the yoga landing page doesn't do a great job of explaining what it does.
