Dumbnail - Open Source Memes

I started an open source project called dumbnail. It's a one-stop-shop for creating spoofed social media posts.

The idea was (still is) to be a hub for users to create a range of different types of memes. As of now it has YouTube thumbnails, tweets, Instagram posts, iMessage, and ChatGPT conversations.?

I would like to say firstly, I don't condone impersonation of any kind. But I do condone memes, so long as it's funny.

What makes the project unique is that it has these interesting type of memes all in one place instead of scattered about the internet.

For example, when I would want to prank my friend with a fake I message account, I'd use a site that only did that one thing. If I wanted a fake Tweet, I had to go somewhere else. If I wanted a fake YouTube thumbnail, well, don't think that even existed until now.

In actuality, I think I was the first to create fake thumbnails and ChatGPT convos; for ChatGPT I had it up within the week of its release (only posting about it now for promotion).

But, I'm not here to brag, I'm here to ask for help. I really like this project and I will continue to update and add components, but it's getting a bit out of hand. The size of the codebase, the complexity, the potential memes, etc.

WARNING: There is a bug on safari, and right now downloading will not work as expected. I'm currently working on a fix, but who knows if I can crack it.

I'm not looking to make money off this which is the reason I made it open source. I want people who find this sort of content interesting to check it out and maybe contribute to the project if they can.

If you do want to contribute check out the github.

But who knows? AI might be be able to fix the bugs soon we can all just relax and wait for the singularity.

I would go into more detail about potential features, components, etc, but the repo already has a pretty thick README file so I'll just leave it at that.

Also, funny story...

I had a dumbnail twitter account that was permanently suspended a while back. I won't say what the fake (dumbnail) tweet was that got me the axe, but let's just say it offended Mr. Musk's physical appearance a bit. Weirdly, it didn't actually violate any of Twitter's rules, at least not to my knowledge.

This lead me to a concern over whether this sort of content would fall under parody law or defamation law. Perhaps I should add a disclaimer to the site, but alas, I'm a tired.

Hopefully Elon doesn't have any pull over at LinkedIn or whatever --
