We should have a button that downloads various banners of your BioDrop profile

Description

We should have a button that downloads a banner of your Biodrop profile. I would use that as my banner. Could even have the option to have a Biodrop or EddieHub watermark type thing too.

Just a button or a new section with Canva-style editing to generate social media banners from BioDrop. It can be as feature packed as you like. Goes well with the theme of corporate sponsors too.

Banner sizes would be for:

  • Twitter
  • Instagram
  • LinkedIn

Additional information

Glad I shared it.

This would be dependent on https://github.com/EddieHubCommunity/BioDrop/issues/9100

We should also enable the option of a 1000x1000 social sharing option. The concept is being able to share an image of your LinkFree profile as your social media banner and as a social media image. Most social platforms are square for images, and a 1500x500 banner works almost everywhere.

Hi loftwah,

I don't understand your suggestion, you like to have a banner in following format 1500x500. But how should the screenshot looks like? If you take a Screenshot for example of this profile https://linkfree.io/eddiejaoude and edit to your format (1500x500) it looks terrible xd

It would look roughly like this (my dimensions are slightly off from a screenshot). The GitHub avatar might be a little small.

1000x1000 would be kind of like this.

I guess the gist is that we generate something cool we can share for each of these dimensions using the data we have in the LinkFree profile (avatar, QR code, social icons, bio and tags).

How this happens doesn't really matter.

love the idea ❤️ !!

We have QR download, I wonder if we could use that library to get started

This is cool Dean some ideas on what it could start with: Dropdown to select common sizes preview button /download button

Some future updates could be checkboxes to include/remove various features (tags, byline, socials, etc) color picker for background /text accessibility checker for the contrast (if we create a picker) custom sizing/cropping other files types

The idea for the professional version of things (if it exists): Allow us to use a custom background or give some fundamental design choices so they can make it look how they want it to. It could even integrate with typical social media providers so it can automatically upload them all to the right places in the correct sizes too :) 🤓

Hello! I'm new here. your idea is good, additional to that it would be better if there are buttons like instagram, twitter, etc... so whenever a user clicked on that button it will directly redirect to that pirticular social media page and the user could directly post the linkFree profile banner...

Sorry about that. I'll keep everything in the Contributing Guide in mind next time. I've already set up the site on my laptop, so I'm looking forward to working on my first issue!

BDFL669 avatar Jun 16 '23 07:06 BDFL669

This looks like a fantastic idea but if the buttons are not clickable I wonder if it will really be helpful. What if we try displaying insta or github usernames so that the viewer knows where to approach this person?

I hope I'm thinking on the right tracks.

I like this and it would definitely be something that could be built upon as it evolves and people use it.
