Your text

How Cards started

Cards began with a personal need. I write fantasy, and posting short stories to Instagram meant turning long text into clean slides. Doing that by hand in a design tool was slow, so I wrote a script that split the text and drew the cards on its own. Enough people asked for the same thing that I turned it into Cards, a small tool from Tiny Gods.
