Cardsmith on Windows — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/og-image-studio-mvp. $99 buys the packaged installer with everything pre-wired, plus updates.
How are images rendered?
Server-side with bundled Chromium (Puppeteer), using the exact same HTML renderer as the editor preview — so WYSIWYG is literal. Fonts are bundled and base64-embedded, making output deterministic and fully offline.
