⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

Just noticed that some generators in the /generators page have a blank white thumbnail while it should display the captured content from the generator page. Could there be something wrong with the getGeneratorScreenshot API, or any other reasons?

I also tried to open one of the blank white thumbnails in a new tab to trigger a getGeneratorScreenshot response, but it had the same issue.

Yeah quite a few of them have. My generators are all blank, I believe. But $meta.image does work though.

Same with some of my generators/plugins too, even my generator hub page has a blank thumbnail. (Here's a link for testing)

I've found some even show with a big question mark--when there's not even a blank image for it. 😅

My latest couple of public pages do have thumbnails now!

Maybe it's related to the page being private or public during development, something like that?

[–] BluePower 1 points 1 week ago

Probably not, I've never set any of my plugins private before or after saving. Either way this may happen at any chance.

[–] BluePower 1 points 1 week ago

This most likely happened on very newly created generators, when the automatic thumbnail for those haven't been captured yet.

Also @[email protected], at least only on the hub page, one sub-list async function assignment is somehow mistakenly recognized as a parsing error (I've only encountered this on desktop and not mobile).
