Meme generator

Love memes? I do too! but the vast majority online are utterly terrible to use and so out of pure frustation I decieded to build my own. It's a "work in progress" but you can check it out over at meme.watthedoodle.com

I wanted to create a meme generator that was completely static, mostly because I didn't want the headache of having to host a full blown web application that would have involved running on some server.

The meme generator simply uses JavaScript, and the HTML canvas to dynamically generate the text over the image, afterwards to generate we use inlined data URLs to make the image "downloadable"

At the moment the basic engine works, however now the labour intensive task remains of manually specifing each templates meta data (this describes the position of the text placeholders)

(also I used tailwind as I've been getting more into this recently!)
