    I've used satori [0] on the backend with TypeScript/Deno to render JSX as an SVG (which is then rendered to a PNG).

    Satori is meant for rendering Open Graph images (e.g. the little images that come up when you post a link on Twitter/Slack/Facebook), but I found that it works well for rendering arbitrary images. It supports a subset of modern CSS, including flexbox.

    My use case is posting match reports for League of Legends into a Discord text channel, e.g. person X just played a match, here are their stats.

    It's quite nice because there are almost zero server-side native dependencies (the one exception is the library to convert svg -> png requires some native libraries).

    Here's what a match report looks like: [1]

    Here's an example of what the JSX looks like: [2]

    Another way is to write HTML/CSS and use satori [0] to convert that to SVG. It's meant for Open Graph images (the images that show up when you link a site in Discord, Slack, Twitter, etc.), but it works quite well for anything.

    This is obviously not as flexible as true SVG, but it is familiar to author for anyone who's written a React application. I've used it on the backend to generate match reports for League of Legends [1]
