## What it is
gh-card is a hosted service that generates GitHub repository cards as SVG/PNG images embeddable on any website or README. A backend calls the GitHub API on request and caches repository info in Redis.

## Use cases
- embed a GitHub repo card in a README
- show repo stats as an image on my blog
- generate an SVG card for a GitHub repository
- add GitHub repo preview to any website
- create OGP images for repository links

## When to choose
- you want a GitHub-style repo card image that works anywhere images are allowed
- you need embeds in places where scripts/iframes are not allowed

## When to avoid
- you need real-time repo stats without caching delays
- you want fully self-hosted card generation with custom designs
- you need interactive cards rather than static images

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: maintenance
- function: image-processing, http-server, caching
- domain: web-development, developer-tools, social-media
- platform: -
- tags: github-cards, svg-generation, embed, ogp, readme-images, web-server, nodejs, docker
