It's _really_ good for Twitter posts. Formatting is non-existent, so sharing an image is unfortunately the best way to do it in-feed. Links to Gists, etc are the best if you don't mind leaving Twitter for sure. That said, if images are a necessity, might as well make it look good with Carbon.

Or just link to pastebin/your-favorite-alternative where someone can view it while looking good + copyable? I get that it isn't "in-feed", but I think most people would prefer that over having to find some OCR software that likes this specific font and feed an image into it.

It's not either/or. You can use this to add an image to your post containing the link. Or a code-snippet website could use code like this to generate preview images to show up on Twitter.
