Rendered six real 1080x1080 IG cards through the Chrome-headless pipeline: proper visual hierarchy, navy brand palette, a big price stat, decorative dot grids and a handle/tagline footer, all 120-170KB PNGs. The keyless image fetcher pulled CC-licensed photos live from Openverse with full attribution and provenance written to a manifest, exactly as claimed. A no-skill baseline would emit plain text captions or crude HTML rather than polished, on-brand card images. One ding: the bundled render_cards_example.py points at a template_square.html that isn't in the repo, so that example won't run verbatim.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Social Cards Engine does
A brand-agnostic carousel engine that turns any idea, article, or tutorial into a set of IG/Threads/X/FB cards plus four-platform captions, rendering HTML+CSS templates to PNG via Chrome headless. Style comes from swappable brand packs. Triggers on requests to make social cards, generate a carousel, build an infographic, or write post copy.
