How does one create a shareable template? Do we upload a picture somewhere on the site? What format is required?

[–] grant@toast.ooo 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

On the website click on Settings then put an image URL in the field (png preferably as it has transparency, but jpeg does work), then copy the URL of the website

it should add it to the end of the url

Thanks! Seems pretty nifty. Cool how any embeddable image can be overlaid at an arbitrary location on the canvas, rescaled to any size, and shared with a link. Well done!

Is there any way to load multiple templates at once to see if/how they overlap?

[–] grant@toast.ooo 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

there is not unfortunately, only one template can be loaded at once

No worries! You've already done more than is expected!
