Hey Product Hunters 👋 I'm Keita — solo maker behind dummy book! I built this because every time I sat down to lay out a zine or an art book, I had two bad options: 1. Open InDesign and fight with master pages for an hour to make an 8-page zine. 2. Photoshop spreads by hand, then lose track of pagination at page 12. Neither felt like a tool made for people who make books *as art*. dummy book! is the tool I wished existed: • Drop images into the browser, watch the book come together live • Halftone + riso ink separation preview built in • Multiple sizes (A6, A5, B5, A4, custom) • Print-ready PDF export • Free during beta It's designed for zines, photo books, illustration books, and indie art catalogues — the things that exist between "blog post" and "monograph." A few things I'd genuinely love your input on: → What's the one thing about laying out a book that makes you put off the project? → What's the most beautiful indie book you've seen recently? (any medium, any size) → If you make zines or art books today — what would make you switch from your current tool to dummy book!? I'll be here all day answering questions, and I'll ship fixes for anything that breaks today. Thanks for stopping by — bring your art, build your book. — Keita 🙏 PLANKTON studio
