I'm so excited to share Mastopoet, a tool made by @raikas that allows you to capture Mastodon posts as beautiful images and share them across the Internet. This makes posts much more eye-catching in other social medias for instance. :bunhdheart:

Use the tool: https://mastopoet.ohjelmoi.fi

Browse the source code: https://github.com/raikasdev/mastopoet

Mastopoet supports and options to show metrics in textual or icons or hide them completely.

Please note: If you use this tool to share toots, remember to copy the post text as alt text, thank you!

seekraft,

@rolle @raikas Suggestion: "Remember to copy the post text as alt text" could be made easier by the tool itself. (GitHub issue here: https://github.com/raikasdev/mastopoet/issues/12 )

expert,

@rolle @raikas hey @lucasggamerm , could you please make Mastopoet to be built-in in @moshidon ? Thank you in advance.

@rolle @raikas Love this! Is there a way to change the dimensions though? I would like to use it to share Mastodon posts on Instagram and using a 9:16 ratio and/or making the text size bigger would be really useful.

@rolle @raikas That’s funny, just this morning I was thinking that Mastodon should come with its own built-in screenshot tool.

Not because it’s the only way to share stuff outside the walled garden (as with most other networks) but because sometimes a screenshot is all you need. Instant, in your face, fleeting, occasionally beautiful.

I see plenty of Twitter screenshots on Instagram without finding that a limitation.

@rolle @raikas says “CORS issue detected!” Before i enter a url. Works great when i ignore it and put in a url.

@rolle @raikas

looks very cool - but:

hmmm … this tool supposedly jas CORS issues at the server - and I should contact the admin … sorry, but I don’t know what that means ..?

@wigbert @rolle @ruud CORS is a security feature of browsers, that is used when a website wants to use a resource on an another website.

Your instance you are on (mastodon.world) has a person that manages it on the serverside, the admin. For your instance it's @mwadmin. They can make the changes required to make the CORS requests work.

Here's a great video about how it works, but it's bit technical:

@raikas @wigbert @rolle @ruud I will look into it. We did enable CORS for lemmy.world too, before the lemmy had something for it.

Thank You for the friendly explanation & for “looking into it“

@rolle @raikas Thanks. Looks great - but It doesn't embed or include images or my avatar.

Interesting tool. Any thoughts or plans to offer this as a browser plugin?

    @feld Currently Mastopoet only supports the default Mastodon post URL format (instace.social/@username/post-id), so if you turn your URL into that format, and have your API available on the same domain, it should work. @rolle

    @renwillis @rolle Just working on it! Though it is just a button that copies it to your clipboard, as I can't save the alt text in the metadata :blobsad:

    Seems to be fun 😀

    leogrun,

    Did we really need to add extra steps to screenshotting, though?

    @Dam_ned@mamot.fr avatar

    @rolle @raikas maybe there is a way to add Alttext in exif Metadata?

    mihawk90,

    @rolle @raikas one small non-issue I noticed: the output file is named "mastopoAt.png" instead of (the probably intended) "mastopoEt.png".

    See also: https://github.com/raikasdev/mastopoet/blob/8d442f505b8db7be73c88fc6451c5f607ac7f495/src/App.tsx#L57

    On a sidenote: Is there a reason the output is PNG instead of - let's say - WebP?

    igni5s,

    @rolle @raikas very nice tool, have you considered creating one for Lemmy?

    mike,
    @mike@fosstodon.org avatar

    @rolle @raikas I love that! Is there a way to pass the URL of the post in the URL through a parameter or something?

    raikas,
    @raikas@mementomori.social avatar

    @mike @rolle Not currently, but I'll add that to the todo list! Thank you :keanu_thanks:

    Tagging @fedilab - this would be a useful feature.
