Enhancing Landing Page Banners with Programmatic Generation

Introduction We recently faced a challenge with our landing page banners on the devlog-ist/landing project. Initially, we relied on AI image generation (Gemini) to create these banners. However, inconsistencies and errors, particularly misspellings, became a recurring issue. To address this, we transitioned to a programmatic approach using Playwright for HTML rendering, leveraging the H7 presentation design system. The Problem with AI-Generated Images While AI image generation offers speed and creativity, its unreliability in accurately rendering text within images posed a significant problem. This led to a lack of consistency and required constant manual review and correction. The Solution: Programmatic Banner Generation Our solution involves generating banners directly from code. We use Playwright to render HTML templates based on the H7 design system, which incorporates: Space Grotesk and Mono fonts A neo-brutalist color palette Colorful tech tags and corner accents A rainbow strip
