Not a fan of the meme, but I did want to link it to friends...I found out that you can't just right click and save the image though since it's in a canvas. Perhaps a different implementation would be better here?

#12This isn't true SaaS because the images are generated on the client side. You could add value to your service by saving the images on the server and providing URLs that people can link to. https://bayimg.com/KaegiaAFP

If you click "Very View" it will show it as an image that you can save.

Hi, I'll add upload to imgur shortly so you'll be able use that. In the meanwhile you can play wheel of fortune and use doge as a service :) http://dogr.io/wow/suchfriends/manysharing.png
Re: Doge as a Service
#15Congrats on posting about something you did on HN! Here's some feedback: - Like a lot of such generators, you make the mistake of picking random x,y coordinates and not checking for collisions, which can result in situations like that ( http://i.imgur.com/M7LyPqD.png ) - generating a nicer URL, as other commenters have pointed out, would be nice - just as a FYI, when products use the terminology "as a service", it's…
Hi, I'm the creator of dogr actually. I'm not sure who posted this to HN :) Thanks for the feedback! Doge-as-a-service is a just funny name. Not sure who would have a need for such a thing.
Those API-like URLs seem to be timing out now. Consider adding caching (you might be able to simply enable caching-proxy-functionality at the webserver layer, e.g.)

#16I still think this would be funnier with Baskerville and not Comic Sans.

Comic sans in bright colors seems to have become an important detail of the meme.

#18I don't know why I find doge so funny, but this is great. Unfortunately "very view" causes Chrome and Chrome Beta to crash on a Nexus 5/Android 4.4.2. I get the idea though. What does the tech stack look like? Is it open source?
Hi, thanks! It's a node app with some simple canvas rendering code. The rendering code is shared by the client and server. The text splitting is rather simple too but I had fun writing it. It's open-source of course! https://github.com/codazzo/dogr
Looks like Chrome for Android is crashing because the serialized png is too large. Just sent a quick pull request that exports a smaller jpg instead.

So that's what Comic Sans is for[0].
