Create a 'search post' generator #185

It would be designed to remix the system's existing content with tools which enable people to create without any actual desktop software.

I should really look into the existing online tools, to see if large pieces can somehow be combined to suite my specific needs.

At the most basic level, we are talking about a meme generator. But, it would also be designed to create formats which specifically suit the various social networks. For instance, g+ posts could be made to be very long.

And the sizes for Facebook and Twitter post images should also be available.

People should be able to inject these into the feeds attached to feed posts and controversy cards.

I could also create a tool that lets people craft their own list in the format of the search results which already appear. They would be allowed to intersperse their own commentary into this pseudo-feed.

I'm not really sure what I would call this, but it would definitely be novel. Would be good to have a handful of more types of content. Perhaps the comments could have a large format -- and of course, meme must happen.

The URL for this should just be a 6-character UUID here:

https://www.controversiesofscience.com/{UUID}?query=relativity&page=1

That would provide the namespace necessary to permit any user to create their own links.
