It turns our that Switchboard does more that I thought. Like a lot more.

I thought "I can do more images at scale" and yes, Switchboard can help with that. But it does a lot of other things. With the API you can hook it up to anything to spit out images. But they already have integrations with Pabbly, Zapier, Airtable, and now they are even connected with Google Sheets!!! Two things that kind of standout that I think are possibly underrated/undernoticed, are the ability to resize without ruining the image, and thanks to the API functions you can do 70 different languages....like it is really easy. English>German>French? Just en/de/fr That easy. No more Google translate for you :-)

So all of that is awesome but there is at least one more thing that got me excited for it. You can make dynamic images. If you go check out Adams Twitter at @_adam_barker you can see that each day it updates and adds the avatars of the last 5 accts who followed him. Kind of cool right? Well you can do that with any on a website as well...check out his youtube video showing sports scores. You can make infographics with data that you can update from a G Sheet, you can update grpahic tables, etc. The possibilities go on and on, and some of them are really awesome.

Anyways I think Switchboard is a great product, the limits are awesome (5k-100kx the image sizes/month=a LOT of image generation), and the learning curve is not very steep. I mean I am an idiot and I am figuring it out, so clearly anyone can do it.
