[FEATURE REQUEST] - Custom card cover images generated from text

[gomesp]

Thanks for the great app. You'll be getting many coffees from me. :)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I find it difficult to visualise the cards. Photos from the physical cards do not look nice, and my current solution to make it look better includes importing screenshots from Klarna (which I am trying to get away from).

Describe the solution you'd like It would be great if I could scan the bar code from the physical (or digital) card and then have the card title being displayed instead of the photo of the card I imported. The app should allow the customisation of the card background colour and text font and colour.

Describe alternatives you've considered My current solution to make it look better includes importing screenshots from Klarna (which I am trying to get away from).

Additional context N/A

Figured out it's already supported, although when I try to scan a manually created bar code the iOS app crashes.

@gomesp what do you mean by scan a manually created bar code?

Hi @farfromrefug thanks for responding. Here are the steps I followed on iOS (latest app version and latest iOS):

1. Tap on the + button on the bottom right
2. Tap on create
3. Add a name (there is a bug here, the iOS keyboard covers the text, but I can still type it)
4. Leave the other fields blank or default values.
5. On the card details screen tap on the + button on the bottom right corner
6. Add bar code from camera
7. Point camera to a bar code. The app will die at this step.

What I hoped is that the new card screen (step 3 above) would let me select font face, text size, text colour and background colour so it could create a nicely looking card.

A side-effect of this feature is the bug I identified (step 7), so if I am creating the card first and using the camera to read the barcode the app won't die.

Hope this clarifies.

@gomesp awesome thanks for the detailed explanation. Will fix all that next week. About the customization you can right now select text and background color. I could add text size and text color. Font face might come later
