Description
I started giving away badges on X to people who touched grass just for fun and most of them loved it! So I decided to create a whole website about it.Process is simple: - Enter X username / url - Fetch Profile image and choose badge - Generates a badge page which can be shared with nice OG imagesThe site is deployed on Vercel, with R2 and Browser rendering for OG images and data storage.
