●MidSolve My Problem

Yet another quote-to-image tool in a space crowded by Canva and Typefully.

Strengths

•Two-click workflow directly from the browser context menu.
•Auto-extracts publication metadata like author and title.

Weaknesses

•No differentiation from existing design tools that already do this.
•Limited to Chrome; ignores Safari and Firefox users entirely.

Post Description

If you are a writer or someone who likes to share news, this could help make sharing articles to your social media following much easier.

Just highlight a quote, right click → Create Image and it generates a clean vertical card with the quote, the publication, the author, and the article title. The image can be either a 1x1 square or 9x16 vertical which is perfect for social media stories.
