Build a 'webbook cover generator' tool #393

Open SteelWagstaff opened 2 years ago

SteelWagstaff commented 2 years ago

Feature idea: build a simple design tool to help authors autocreate a simple webbook cover with choice of colour/patterns/image and title/author. Could be used in conjunction with our existing 'cover generator' tool, which is designed to make ebook and especially PDF covers: https://guide.pressbooks.com/chapter/how-to-design-your-book-cover/

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Que47tMX-QU for a short example of an experimental prototype built a few years ago by a Rebus Community developer.

I would prefer to instruct our users to use purpose built tools for designing webbook covers. Canva is a good free option for now.
