Ladies and gentlemen welcome back to another release of Thumbnail-Maker. Last time we designed the whole webpage. This time we are releasing the first official release (not pre-release) of Cub's Contraption! After weeks of work, we are proud to release Cub's Contraption v1.0. We have completed the base of Thumbnail-Maker so expect to get new releases more often from now.

Changelog

  • Added animations to all buttons on their respective hover, active and focus states.
  • The downloaded image is now smartly named.
    You opened the webpage, entered episode number '32' along with other details, and downloaded the thumbnail. The downloaded file was previously named 'image.png', it will be named 'Ep32 HC7 Cub's Contraption.png' now.
  • Episode number is now automatically filled, based on your last thumbnail.
    In the last example, you entered the episode number '32' and downloaded the image. Next time when you visit, episode number will be automatically filled '33'. Tada, thanks to cookies. This means that Cub's Contraption uses cookies now.
  • The episode number is now updated oninput than onchange. So it is quick now.
  • Cub's Contraption is now a PWA.
    We also removed the service worker from the 'Thumbnail-Maker' page.
  • Tweaked design of episode number in the thumbnail.
  • Changed the background color of the preview area.
  • The webpage now shows that a thumbnail was downloaded.
  • Cub's Contraption now has its own icon.
  • Tidied up the code.
  • Tidied up the file structure.
  • Fixed #5 Hermitcraft logo is now in the correct position.
  • Fixed #6 Result image is incorrectly sized.
  • Implemented #7 Select episode number on click.
  • Fixed #8 No capitalization is shown in the episode number text field.
  • Fixed #12 Cub's Contraption uses the wrong Hermitcraft logo.

Known Issues

When you just open the page and click download, without updating anything, the downloaded image will contain nothing but a white background.

This issue is somewhat of a feature itself. Our goal is to create a What You See Is What You Get editor and technically that is what you get. You saw nothing, you got nothing.
One can argue that the 'Show HC7 Logo' option is checked so it should output an image with the HC7 logo. But argue that in Minecraft. You must have seen floating gravel which falls only when updating it.

Future Plannings

We have planned more for Cub's Contraption. But we are not implementing them now. Cub's Contraption will get v1.1 release but not so soon.
For now, we are projected towards making other thumbnail makers. We will be working on not one, not two but three thumbnail maker at the same time. Namely, Cub's Contraption v1.1 (with less pace though), TFC's Tool (v2.0 onwards) for TFC, and Joey* (v3.0 onwards) for Joe Hills.
*Name subject to change.

Footnote

If you plan to download the source code and use the tool offline, be aware that some features may not work as intended. This is because internet browsers do not consider the offline file:// protocol and the https:// protocol equally.
All Thumbnail-Makers are made a PWA. This means that they are much more featured than regular webpages. Being a PWA means that you can install the webpage and use it more like a native app than a webpage. Our tools are made to run offline with the same power as to run online. Hence it is highly recommended to install the webpage than download the source code to run the tool offline.
(Installing is the same as adding to homescreen.)
