Aidful Book Quoter

A Python script that creates shareable quote images from books, combining the book cover with a beautifully formatted quote.

Description

Aidful Book Quoter takes a book quote and the book's cover image to generate a visually appealing image suitable for social media sharing. The output image features:

• The quote in a clean, readable format with a stylish blockquote bar
• The book title and author
• The book cover image
• A clean, modern design with consistent formatting

Examples

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Pillow (Python Imaging Library)

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/aidful-book-quoter.git
cd aidful-book-quoter

2. Install required dependencies:

pip install Pillow

Usage

1. Name your book cover image following the format: Book Title - Author.ext (where .ext is .jpg, .png, etc.)
2. Create a text file containing your quote
3. Run the script (Note: Spaces in filenames need to be escaped with backslashes, but tab completion in your terminal will handle this automatically):

python aidful-book-quoter.py data/quote.txt data/Million\ Dollar\ Weekend\ -\ Noah\ Kagan.jpg

The script will generate an image named Book Title - Quote.png in the current directory.
