Recently I built a tool to help me quickly create cover images for my blog posts. I've written a case study and closer look at how cvrsnap was built 👇

Next updates will include improvements to the mobile/sidebar UX and more templates. I am also writing an article on building the app.

Check it out if you need a cover image for your next blog post, free to create/download images.

Thanks for reading 👋

Introducing CvrSnap 🫰

A small side project I built that let's you easily create and download blog cover images for posts.

I wanted a simple tool for myself to pick some layout templates, custom forefront text (blog title/author), and some bg options.

2. You don't want to use a cover image from an internet image platform.

3. You want to do all of this in a modern and user-friendly editor.

@andrewbaisden It's nice, took me a second to find the 'Get started' btn though

Spending time getting more hands on with AWS services atm, specifically CloudFront and S3 today. Spent hours debugging something, tried everything.

What was wrong: Build output I had set 'build' was not correct 🤦

@catalinmpit In general life I am a glass half empty person and I'd mostly be focused on what I'm missing. But in this case, and putting things in perspective, I would be more than thrilled with 70% of people liking what I do.

@Lakbychance Nice, couldn't get my exact name. One of the few times I wished my parents had given me a middle name to make it more unique

Did you know you can customise your profile URL on LinkedIn.

I only recently found this. A small thing but it makes your profile look a bit cleaner to remove those random characters.

Go to your profile, Click 'Public profile & URL' -> 'Edit your custom URL'

@ewainy Right, I'm terrible keeping up with things. Ye I set up an account there a little while back, just need to start connecting with some peeps

[Kieran Roberts @Kieran6dev]

@ewainy Hey Emma! Hope all is well. Having the same thoughts myself recently

@danielcranney Jealous dude 😄. I'd love to be inbox zero, but they keep telling me I'm running out of storage and I just don't know where to begin

[Kieran Roberts @Kieran6dev]

@hey_yogini Also badly need a new office chair but I have been procrastinating. I have a terrible home chair and work remotely, don't know why I do this to myself
