Patterns widget for sites
Some time ago I have built patterns web app (http://bgpatterns.com) while playing with new framework. I was wondering if it's something that can be shared as customization tool to other site. So I've made a widget. Would appreciate any thoughts on how good/bad this idea is. Here is the widget demo page http://bgpatterns.com/page.html
- chrisgoodrich 11y agoThis is great work! There has been a recent shift in the last few years of limiting customization to "cover photos" instead of full backgrounds. In the Myspace days, this would have been a goldmine. Twitter still allows this type of customization and I see many marketers customizing profile backgrounds as another way to push their brand imaging. I wonder if there's value in using this for editing of cover photos for various social platforms like Twitter & Facebook.
- iigres 11y agoyeah, first thing I had in mind when developing was profile customizations. This widget works more like input providing image data-uri. That piece can be used anywhere you could use a pattern: profiles, postcards, email backgrounds, etc
- aquark 11y agoNice work! I think this could definitely be expanded and sold as a standalone component
- iigres 11y agothanks! Right, I was trying to keep it minimal so it may work as a seemlessly integrated component
