Another Webpage Screenshot and OG Image Generation APIA few years ago, I tried developing a product on my own but eventually gave up and stepped away for a while. Now, I’ve decided to give it another shot.Shotium is an API for generating screenshots and OG images (social media share images)—simply pass in a URL, and you get back a rendered image. It is built on the actual Chromium engine, so it offers full support for CSS and web fonts. I am particularly proud of its SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery) protection mechanism: every browser request passes through a "pinning proxy," eliminating the security risks that can arise between domain resolution and connection establishment—after all, an unprotected renderer capable of fetching arbitrary external URLs could easily be exploited to scan internal ports.The project launched just eight days ago, and I don't have any paying customers yet. I’m not posting this to pitch the product; rather, I genuinely want to hear from people with experience in automated screenshot or social media image gener
Ask HN: Dear LinkedIn, do you want to do business, yes or no?I have created my account while spending how many hours to organize my profile, send requests to old colleagues and acquaintances, only to find out the very next day that my account was deactivated for security purposes without me knowing the reason.I have spend hours trying to find a way to communicate with LinkedIn helpdesk without success, only to receive an email late at night that the reason they deactivated my account is because I edited my Headline (!!!) and they considered this a phising attempt!I went through the stupid process of providing my government ID and still cannot proceed as the third party service, Persona, still processes my request or so they say, and I'm stuck here without having a way to login so I can upgrade to a premium, or so I wanted to do but not anymore!This is not a serious company anymore, they have lost the plot and the only thing they need to do is to close it down; they offer absolutely nothing other than spamming you with AI content (slop I believe

Fixing Status Updates – Our ManifestoOur problem we solve is the issue of organizational friction and visibility. With each layer and each meeting, you get further from really knowing what is going on. We build a tool that lets anyone at the click of a button see what is actually going on with a project. No arguing with an AI. No divining with a gantt chart. Just a reasonable human explanation.Of course, we won’t hit perfection right out the gate. We’re focused on doing one thing right, letting a single program manager or director hit “update” and getting an update in the way they expect. This means we need to “know” their project. To do that, we’re using AI.We don’t expect users to start projects in our tool or to adjust anything they do. We digest everything and burp up status updates. This means we structure our tool to understand things like a program manager would. Some might say that means we won’t fit their projects or programs perfectly. To that, I say, “you’re not nearly as original as you think you are.” This me
