Contribute!

In this project, everyone is free to contribute. To do that, you must first learn how to use The Machine. It's very easy and takes 10min to start making your first template. Of course, you don't have to learn writing code or something technical else. The Machine is here to generate your cards automatically.

Create a new template

To be used by The Machine, each template has a generic JSON configuration file.

The folder structure

A template must be located inside the /templates folder in its own folder.

Here is the folder configuration:

/templates/[template name]/
    -> README.md
    -> [template name].json
    -> [template name]-back.jpg
    -> [template name]-variable.jpg
    -> [template name]-code.jpg
    -> [template name]-event.jpg
    -> [template name]-preview.jpg

• A preview picture
• A link to the configuration file
• The author
