Love the project! Sorry to be pedantic, but the claim is technically false. You don't actually support HTML and CSS. You support JSX. As someone who doesn't use React due to the abomination of mixing html and css within the JS, do you have plans to actually support regular HTML and CSS? Or provide a dedicated transpiler? (I'm not familiar with the react ecosystem, so likely one already exists?)

The claim is correct, it supports a subset of HTML and CSS[0]. You can even check the demo page[1], it has examples with HTML and inline styles.

[0] "supports a limited subset of HTML and CSS features" (and it still requires jsx-esque syntax with curly braces)

[1] uses JSX

So, yeah, my comment still stands.

JSX here is just a way to represent the HTML information because you can't write HTML in JavaScript. It is NOT required. But with the JSX representation, the lib doesn't have to parse it again, and it's using it as JSON, check the "Use without JSX" section in the docs: https://github.com/vercel/satori#use-without-jsx
