#2Aside: if you're using this on a platform where it's easy to actually share the code itself, please don't use this. It might look pretty, but you can't copy from it easily. Plus it's inaccessible unless you've jumped through the hoops to make it so, at which point you might as well just link to the code directly.

Yeah, I've found myself using Carbon for sharing code in my tweets, really it's the only time I use it.

#4I love the appearance of it, but there are very few cases where sharing un-copyable blocks of code is actually what you want.
Let's say you're making a programming tutorial, or you're publishing an open source library and want to provide a website with code examples. Appearance is important, of course, but your audience will want to copy/paste your examples.
I feel like this should be a CSS generator for styling the or tag. If you really want to have a built-in screenshot exporter as well, I suppose that's fine too!

I use it for presentations and have found it incredibly useful for that.

It's _really_ good for Twitter posts. Formatting is non-existent, so sharing an image is unfortunately the best way to do it in-feed. Links to Gists, etc are the best if you don't mind leaving Twitter for sure. That said, if images are a necessity, might as well make it look good with Carbon.

How do you share code snippets on Twitter?

#8Why not just take a screenshot.

#9It'd be fun to have optional licensing info of said code snippet.

#10What are usecases of sharing text as image? Is it to force user type from from image or use OCR to get the text?
