Is there a better way to make dynamic frame images then using Satori?

Satori seems kind of clunky.

You could go with something like Pixijs which has a bigger learning curve but is gonna be way more flexible.

So looks like with this you can generate graphics and such but how about exporting them as a png or gif that can work in frames?

yeah, debuggin the images isn't great and seeing that they are off compared to the vercel og image playground

so do you do the positioning of image elements in satori or in sharp?

My flow is clunky too. 

SVG markup built with react, passed through sharp to get a png. 

Positioning items with SVG is tedious though. Wish I could get a good tool that would let me do HTML/CSS to SVG. 

Also hoping frames support SVG someday.

I'm a fan of sharp but I think it depends on what kind of image you are trying to assemble
