File generated: ./seems-legit.pngFitting text to a container is not a trivial problem. On web this can be done with an off-screen render-measure-resize loop, like STRML/textFit (which powers https://keyan.io/pink).
Without a browser environment we need a rendering engine with good typography support. Turns out SwiftUI's minimumScaleFactor handling is pretty good at this:
- Text goes to an off-screen SwiftUI text view, with an arbitrarily large font size and high
minimumScaleFactor - SwiftUI resizes the text to fit the container
ImageRendererrasterizes the view into a PNG bitmap
