How vydyas/youtube-thumbnail-creator works
This is a browser-based YouTube thumbnail creator. The main workflow is to upload an image, edit it with templates and interactive text/image controls, preview the composition in a YouTube-like layout, and export a PNG. The sampled editor source shows image loading, template application, Konva-based editing, and download behavior; the layout preview and authentication are README-documented capabilities whose wiring is not shown in the excerpts. The README names Clerk, but the sampled dependency manifest does not include it, so that integration remains uncertain.
