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.  

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

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

Mastopoet supports #MastodonBirdUI 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!

@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.
