Have you thought of connecting to a printing service like theprintful to allow people to order prints of their images? A project source code could look cool hanging on a wall of a startup or even on a coffee mug lol

Well said @swetzequity. Could be a good source of revenue out of the project. Very well done by the way @qaplen!

Please tell us more about the story behind CodeZen @qaplen

@abadesi This was mostly to practice ReactJS and I just wanted to build something from whatever I've learned so far, but this was also my first NodsJS project. I didn't know how things work in NodsJS, the packages and all, so all in all I've learned a lot while building this. I won't mind saying this has been inspired from https://carbon.now.sh, I just wanted to build it on my own from scratch and with the UI that I wanted to have for this app.

@ryandimascio Great! I'll add it!

Pretty cool. With the default code on windows, there are scrollbars included in the exported image and in the UI.

As said sharing is caring. Thanks for caring. Loved the idea.

Doesn't text editors already style code?

@kensavage It's not a text editor, it just exports your source code as an image with style for syntax and all so you can share it on places like Twitter and Facebook which apparently don't give as much respect to code updates!
