Free Campaign Signature Builder for All Ranks (Full, Sr, Hero/Legendary)

[programmer3666]

Out of boredom, I decided to keep my brain a bit busy, so I designed a simple web tool that lets anyone create a professional Bitcointalk signature codes in seconds. Whether you are a campaign manager or a participant, you can easily design clean, attractive and rank optimized signatures without writing BBCode manually.

What the system does is:

Allow you to easily generate ready to use BBCode for either Full Member, Sr. Member and Hero/Legendary

It contains Multiple signature template styles that you can choose from

It adopt easily to Rank aware design and auto adjusts size and layout to fit Bitcointalk limits

It has a Live preview with safe height guide to avoid signature cropping

It also has a Built in ASCII generator where you can convert images/logos into BBCode art and use any character you want for the art creation

It contains lots of Custom colors, icons, dividers and branding options

With just one click you can copy the generated signature code

How to use it:

Just select your rank either Full, Sr or Hero/Legendary
 
Choose a template style

Enter your brand name, slogan and bonus details

Customize colors, icons and layout

Then copy the generated BBCode

And Paste it into your Bitcointalk profile signature

Visit the link below to have a preview of how far I have gone

https://campaign-signature-builder.onrender.com

I am still working on the CSS because the Bitcointalk forum does not support some modernized BBCode CSS. I have to find a way to improvise so that everything will be compatible and the Live preview on the builder will reflect perfectly in the actual preview on the forum. Please, I am very open to suggestions. Note: still work in progress


Please, for the best experience and full access to all features, I recommend you use a laptop, desktop or any wide screen device. Although the tool is mobile friendly, but a larger screen will provide a more comfortable and optimized experience.

When I saw the thread I smiled lol do you intend to take us out of business lol... well overall the site is fine the text only output makes some sense but then again I guess I'm only gonna be impressed if ASIC codes can be built neatly from scratch plus that where it just might get messy.

I've not come across any that can accurately make image or text from ASIC blocks it might look it but it will be noticeably different from what we designers output.

[hugeblack]

In general, the idea is good and innovative, but implementing ASCII/BBCode will always give poor results because of the reliance on @#S%?*+;:,. to create images, whereas images are created via ███.

It can be a good tool for volunteer campaigns.

[Zoomic]

What?
This is really great if it works out well.
Again, it's really going to affect designers in the forum, I don't actually know how active designers will welcome this idea. But for me, I think it's great.

If it works very well, maybe you put subscription. With a few bucks you have access to the service, by this, even the designers can subscribe and be using your platform for their design.

By this it will be a win-win situation. Leaving it totally free might encourage abuse.

[dkbit98]

I like the idea, and I will try testing it in next few days and send feedback.
This can be very useful for people who want to start with creating basic signatures for them or for small team promotion.
I still think that for more complex signatures with more details experienced designers should be hired and paid, but this tool can life easier for others.

I see that the preset for Full Member uses table rows and columns, and it also has some size adjustments. You should take note of the disabled tags for each rank:

Full member: glow, hr, img, li, list, size, shadow, table, tr, td
Sr Member: glow, hr, img, li, list, shadow
Hero & Legendary: hr, img, li, list

As for the Image to ASCII / BBCode converter, these are the recommended block elements to use:

The best ASCII characters which I recommend to use for your BBCode images are: " ▀ ▄ █ ▌ ▐ ░ ▒ ▬ ▂ ▃ ▅ ▆ "
But mostly I use " █ " and always in a size 2pt. Which is most compatible for different web browsers and different operating systems.

I tried to replace the 'Character ramp' with █░ and then I tested it on a simple Telegram logo,



And this is the output.

There's quite a few limitations when using converters like this (e.g., uses way too much characters, limited colors). I suggest to remove the unnecessary spaces and line breaks, as well as the font, and then just use [center] tag instead. Maybe you can also add a 'copy' button for the bbcode. By applying these changes, it gets a bit more decent.

The tool seemed easy to use. Good job. If you could include options for Jr. Member and Member rank, it would have been more useful for new users and also If you include save/edit options in the future, it would have been more convenient for users.

[AakZaki]

I think it's a good idea, it can also be used by users who don't participate in signature campaigns. They can create with the text they want themselves, and it's free.

If I may ask why do you share this kind of service for free? Even though this is an innovation you can even earn a few USD if you want to. On this forum Not many can create a signature code. Even forum designers rely only on manual orders if someone wants to have one.

I think with your website, you are one step ahead of them. I know it's still in its early stages and maybe you still want to develop it.
If you're going to end up talking about making a business I think it's going to be worth the results you create, but otherwise if you still want this feature to stay free maybe the forum members will just say Thank you very much.

I remember the words spoken by the Founder of INDODAX:

The Business World is Cruel, those who do not Innovate will be eliminated.

Silence = Outdated
Innovation = Long Breath

The businessman who stopped innovating was counting down the death of his business

[DYING_S0UL]

Your tool works, but maybe it's my incompetence that I couldn't make my design any better. Those with less signature design knowledge or no knowledge would struggle a bit. So I suggest you add a little guide, maybe some tips, or explain what and when some of these options need to be used. For example, I wasn't sure what character ramp was supposed to do. So, I messed with a little and later, realizing what it was intended for. Also, a little suggestion. Can you add a copy button at "Generated ASCII BBCode"? Would have been better.

As for "1) Signature Builder", for some reason, I couldn't make it work, the preview/demo wasn't working for me. I changed the data, but saw no change.

Overall, I would say it's a good helpful tool. Not perfect, but who cares, it can be refined and optimized later on. For sure, it will come in handy to those who are involved with such work.

My big boss, that's never my intention, I just thought of how the campaign signature is being created and i felt i should find a way to make it much easier and it was a way to even make my brain a bit busy. I remain a loyal mentee

In general, the idea is good and innovative, but implementing ASCII/BBCode will always give poor results because of the reliance on @#S%?*+;:,. to create images, whereas images are created via ███.

It can be a good tool for volunteer campaigns.

You can actually use any characters to create ASCII/BBCode, it doesn’t have to be limited to @#S%?*+;:,. Those are just default values in the input field, you can syrely change them to any characters or combination of characters you prefer.

What?
This is really great if it works out well.

Thanks for the words of encouragement, boss. I honestly never thought of monetizing it, I was just excited to bring the idea to life. But I’ll definitely consider that in the near future, especially if I am able to refine the tool and bring it up to a more professional standard.

I like the idea, and I will try testing it in next few days and send feedback.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out, boss, I really appreciate it. I am still working on improving the features, and I know it won’t solve all the needs when it comes to signature design. But I will keep trying to add useful features in a simple and easy to use way. Just like you said, it might be helpful for some people, especially those starting out or needing something basic. I am definitely open to suggestions, sir and I look forward to your feedback after you test it.

Thank you sir, your feedback really means a lot. I will definitely look into it and make the necessary adjustments. I willl go through all the issues you raised and work on improving the output result.

The tool seemed easy to use. Good job. If you could include options for Jr. Member and Member rank, it would have been more useful for new users and also If you include save/edit options in the future, it would have been more convenient for users.

That's actually a good suggestion. I will consider adding other ranks, hopefully, the number of characters of the BBcode will be compatible with the rank's signature field.

I never really thought about it from the angle of turning it into a full business. Sometimes you just create things for the thrill of it without going too deep into the bigger picture. But honestly, I might give it some thought and see how it can be repackaged into something that can generate a little income. Obviously, if there’s a legitimate way to earn from it, it’s not something I would ignore. But for now, I am just taking it step by step to see how it goes.

I really appreciate you taking the time to check it out, sir. I will work on making it easier to navigate and also implement your recommendation for the copy button in the next update.

[programmer3666]

I have now fixed the issue with the broken tags and the issue in the BBCode generation

Based on the feedback, I discovered that a duplicate [/glow] tag in the proGlow function was causing the forum to display leftover code, such as [/glow][/font][/url], under your signature.

I also fixed the glow Box height by updating the proGlow helper to include a br tag inside the [glow] container. This forces the background to expand vertically, ensuring that larger text, such as slogans, is now perfectly boxed and doesn't overflow like before.

I have now restored missing objects by updating every template in the BBCode generator to include the brandInline token. This ensures that your selected objects, like Crown, Fire, Diamond & Bitcoin icons, now appear in the generated BBCode for all signature styles, not just the Classic ones.

Before

Now

I am also working on a lightweight version for the Jr. Member and Member signatures for participants who would love to volunteer for campaigns. It will be separate from the existing tool, but a link will be added to navigate to it. I am currently adjusting it to fit within the character limits allowed for ranks in the signature field.

[SamReomo]

It seems like a useful tool, I suggest you to keep improving it after feedback from the members of the forum. With a tool like this anyone will be able to create signature of their own choice and that'll be useful but I hope spammers may not use this took to promote spamming. However, it again depends on the person who uses the tool, but to be honest it's a very useful tool especially for the ones who want to promote their own platforms via their signature space with such a tool they'll be able to create their signature code without any issues.

Well I like the idea behind the creation of the too it makes sense according to what you said initially. That being said the tool kinda revolves around a set of predetermined designs and I want to assume it should be a major limitation I don't think a service might want their designs looking exactly like another.

Nevertheless if it's for free services it might be ok but I suggest you rename the presets in another way rather than the names of casinos or services.

Any project that wants to stand out will of course go for designs that are not predetermined.
However, a project with a modest budget or even an individual can use these designs in as much as they follow standards.
What you called predetermined is simply a template and to the best of my knowledge, templates are life savers. Using canva, with templates I seem like a pro, but designing from scratch might got me stocked. Why kill myself designing from scratch if I can get a better result with templates.

Nevertheless if it's for free services it might be ok but I suggest you rename the presets in another way rather than the names of casinos or services.

Very true.
He is kind enough by giving free promotions to the casinos.

[igebotz]

Sig designers won't like this; you've just put 80% of them out of work while saving managers a lot of money for the future.  

I wanted a personal signature but didn't want to spend money on it; you saved a soul. Thank you.

[rat03gopoh]

Sig designers won't like this; you've just put 80% of them out of work while saving managers a lot of money for the future.  

Frankly, (manual) signature designers know that this kind of tool has many limitations, especially when it comes to fine-tuning. You can't imagine dealing with perfectionist clients; their expectations sometimes exceed the limits of BBCode support and forums it self. lol.

On the bright side, more designers are generous enough to volunteer some code work.

Nahhh it's mostly feasible for free and voluntary campaigns. Most clients wants their designs unique. Simple marketing suggests you can't be having same design as your competitors it would not really make a difference.

~snip

Logically a service willing to spend a couple hundred bucks or more on running their signature campaign will as well have some to spare for a design of theirs. Literally no client would find it funny to discover you are probably using a template only for his say Ann design.

You can actually use any characters to create ASCII/BBCode, it doesn’t have to be limited to @#S%?*+;:,. Those are just default values in the input field, you can syrely change them to any characters or combination of characters you prefer.

Signatures usually look bad on my browser. I mostly use Firefox (bottom pic), Chromium looks a bit better:

I must say, it’s a super‑duper tool.

I especially like the built‑in Image‑to‑ASCII/BBCode converter, which handles tasks that were never easy for me to complete quickly. Such converted images can even be used not only on this forum but also on other sites that accept them. But this tool must be refined to get better results
