@soheilpro think of the next steps users are doing with the created image! Add share functionality (e.g. create a new tweet/post with it in different social networks) or hand the picture over to other services like buffer.com (if technically possible).
Hey! I created this tool for people who like to share their tweets on Instagram. It's much easier than manually taking screenshots and cropping them. And the generated image looks much more professional.
I did most of the the coding last week at the airport and on the plane while traveling from Bali to Singapore and back 😁
Happy to hear your feedback and answer your questions.
pretty nice! I would love to also see the images that have been uploaded to the tweet as well. In addition: Add a small text-input-field to the feedback function "Something wrong with the image" so that users can tell you what is wrong. Saves you a lot of time searching for it yourself and maybe users see things differently than you do.
I nmy case: I have an emoji in my twitter name, that is not displayed as an emoji, whereas emojis in the textual section of the tweet are displayed correctly.

addition: add a favicon.ico so that an icon of your tool will be displayed in people bookmarks ;-)
Looks cool. I've played with @twimmage, which is a native iOS app, and does something similar. My personal use case would be for stories so I'd love to see vertical orientation.
I'd pay for some method to automatically generate images of set specifications for every tweet/like/reply I make and provide the most frictionless way to get that image to my device photo library to be able to use on Instagram. Perhaps partnering with an app like @unfold_app (if they were able to offer integration). That way, a user could save multiple images at once and integrate other vertical images between images generated by this service to create whatever story/narrative they're looking to create.
@bracco Thanks Mike. I'll add support for story/vertical format very soon.
Do you think a native mobile app will help you with what you described? or do you need something that can be completely automated?
@soheilpro 🙌
I think the mobile app is a great step in the right direction but the overarching challenge here, short of being integrated within Instagram (or whatever the distribution channel is), is the friction involved in app switching to create stories which are inherently about eliminating as much friction as possible and producing content on the fly (ignoring influencer/celeb outliers which have production teams). If the use case is profile posts and less stories, the friction is not as big of a challenge.
At JibJab I actually experimented by buildling an app at JibJab Camera - https://www.producthunt.com/post...
This was early in Instagram stories evolution so their tooling and stickers was limited. Even still, the effort to app switch was just too great to gain traction. So it eventually evoled into GifGab - https://www.producthunt.com/post..., which focused on iMessage distrubition channel, where the integration opportunity (extensions) involved less friction for the user.
I'd suggest possibly exploring integrations with alternative distribution channels - perhaps email senders like Substack or Mailchimp and try to get traction that way vs traditional social network (API offer to select launch partner(s) like that first).
If you do a native app, I'd suggest automatting a user's feed inside your app with a quick one tap copy image to clipboard mode that then automaticly deep links user into Instagram (or an app of the user's choosing). It's not widely known but if you deep link into IG with an image on our clipboard you get a one-tap add. Screenshot: https://share.getcloudapp.com/Bl...
@soheilpro A creative approach to automatically get images to a users device would be to setup a Whatsapp bot that would automatically send users images or tweets based on the criteria the user set within your site (my likes/my tweets/etc..). Within Whatsapp, the user could simply make the chat setting automatically save images to device. Boom!
Would love to see the ability to include the tweet images/videos/gifs as well. Images are exported as ... images. But any tweets with gifs/videos can be turned into videos for Instagram. Cool tool!
