Hi, I'm Sam Feldstein. I'm a bookseller at Composition shop in Longmont, CO. I built this app because making shelf talkers is a bit of a pain, especially if you're doing it with a word processor. I wanted to a tool that would ensure consistent formatting, was somewhat customizable, and easy to use.
The code is open source, and pull requests are welcome. You can also fork it and build your own version.
Using the app should be pretty straightforward, but if you have questions, you can email me at sam@samfeldstein.xyz.
Basic usage
This app is best used on a desktop, but it should work fine on your smartphone.
Click any field to edit. CmdP to print on Mac. CtrlP on Windows.
Card sizes on the webpage do not correlate to card sizes on the printed page. That's because the card sizes on the webpage morph to fit different screens. Make sure you preview the printed page before you print.
Any changes you make are stored automatically in the browser, so you can pick up where you left off.
