Birdbanner

Hello Product Hunters! I'm Sarwech, the creator behind Birdbanner, and I'm excited to share an easier way to create Twitter banners. I made Birdbanner because I wanted something that spoke to me as an indie hacker. I saw a lot of tools (like Canva) but they're designed more for marketers working in big companies and other professionals. I also saw the potential for a Twitter banner to be a way to share an indie hacker's journey, instead of something that's made once and forgotten. So I decided to create a new tool that makes this possible. You can create a banner in seconds and the tool makes it easy to add your product logos so you can share what you're working on. When you're signed in, your banner is saved so you can come back to update it later on. It's free to use and all of the features are available with a watermark (or you can upgrade for just $1). What does Birdbanner offer? 🖌️ Easy customization: Pick from stunning backgrounds and gradients as well as options like background blur and overlays. 📍 Drag and drop: Place text and images exactly where you want them on your banner. 📝 Generate with AI: If you're stuck, just hit the ✨ button to generate text to help you get started. ➡️ Increase follows: Add a 'follow me' arrow and images to make your banner not just seen but more memorable and engaging. 🎨 No design skills required: Anyone can create a good looking banner with the simple UI. If you're struggling, just add text and hit randomize to cycle through different styles. 👀 Coming soon: I'm also working on new templates like adding an MRR chart and dynamic banners that change over time, so stay tuned for those. If you've followed me on Twitter then you'll know I'm all about listening to people and iterating quickly. So if you've tried it out, I'd love to know what you think. Feel free to leave a comment below or DM me with any feedback! Thanks and have a great day! 🫡

Loved it @starwardshar! I really love this simple product launch because it's also super useful and beautiful the outcome. Glad to see something like this!

Congrats on the launch! Out of all banner/gb/avatar generation tools for social, I think this is the best I've seen, absolutely love the simplicity. Also dark mode FTW, well done and good luck!

Hlo Birdbanner team, congratulations on your launch, impressive tool with all the listed functionalities. I found it nice. Going to try it asap.

I think BirdBanner has allot of potential. Below are some of the things I would change, but just my opinion and prob. not necessary at the end of the day. 1. Move the font selection input field under the background color field. (I feel setting the font first feels more natural to do before putting in headings etc.) 2. I would not blur the profile pic as it forms part of the banner. 3. Lastly, mobile view of the banner. The text gets caught up in the phones notch / camera area. Maybe it could move down a bit, but I do realize that not all phones are designed the same so could be tricky to deal with. But otherwise very cool, I feel like this product is about speed. A quick and descent update to your banner without having to fiddle in a fancy design tool is a huge time saver.

I think this is a great start! The form UI is very simple to use and intuitive. I would have liked to have examples of other people's banners before jumping into creating my own though. I love that I can customize fonts and I'm curious about having the ability to move the logo anywhere I want. Congrats on a really nice product so far. There are some obvious gaps in the tool which I think you probably already know about, but just in case it might be helpful I'll list them below. - The mobile view doesn't work. It just obstructs the banner image completely. - Margin spacing for the text. My longer heading should break into 2 lines instead of flowing to the edges. - Arrow doesn't point to the center of the follow button. It is not aligned. - Would be nice to have image cropping for the logo.

Neat tool sarwech, does exactly what it should. Nicely done!
