Hola Product Hunt,
Cool Backgrounds is a curated list of javascript libraries that lets you create a one-of-a-kind image for blog posts, website backgrounds or to use as a phone wallpaper.
๐ The "Background"
While finishing up another side project CSS Gradient (https://www.producthunt.com/post...), I unexpectedly noticed the popularity of free wallpaper and background image websites. As useful as static images are, what was missing was a tool that enables non-technical folks to use all the emerging javascript libraries to create unique images of their own. So Cool Backgrounds was born ๐ฅ.
๐ฒ๐ฝ Maker Bio
My name is MoeโIโm a Mexican designer trained at MIT and based in San Francisco. I created Cool Backgrounds because I ran into the problem first hand of wanting a compelling image for another side project and ended up using javascript to create it, but damn was it painful. Not anymore ๐
Super useful, and I don't have to sign up or anything!
One feature that would be cool is automatically generating them, hosting them on a CDN, and allowing us to reference the assets directly without having to download the graphic to our projects.
@bashbashuh Thanks for the question. I need to make this more clear, but everything will be CC0 licensed, and I believe for more interactive images you actually own the copyright. But I need to double check on that. Cheers!
