Album Cover Mosaic Generator

TODO

Mosaic

• Add option that balance rows vs columns (e.g. 10,10 -> sqrt(20).ceil() -> 5,5,5,5) (e.g. 15,15 -> 6,6,6,6,6) (e.g. 15,1 -> 4,4,4,4) (e.g. 15,3 -> 5,5,5,3) numberOfColumns = sqrt(total of covers).ceil() Or maybe having options for cover size and layout and let user handle this. --layout 4x5 --cover-size 200
• Center with margin as option instead of by default
• Add option that scales down covers instead of truncating list
• Add support for multiple lists
• Add option: limit cover nb (useful with --scale-to-fit)
• Add option: fill empty tiles with random covers / repeat from start
• Add option: ordering and shuffling
• Add custom processor script (usage through eval())
• Add tiling effects (shadow, inner white glow, radius) maybe as a processor script
• Add caching by source/resource/id number

Sources

• Spotify
  • playlists
  • Artist albums
• local files (--cover-size would be required)
  • -i path/to/file-full-of-image-urls.txt (http urls too?)
  • -i path/to/folder-containing-images

Code Quality

• Unit tests
• Make my own eslint and tsconfig configs
• Use a logger
• Extract process.env as interface
• Separate in multiple packages (core, cli, ...)
• Add a tsconfig path alias @new-repo-name/package-name
• Give a try to fp-ts

UX

• Documentation
• Examples along with their config file
• Generate from config file (TOML). Same options. mos my-mosaic.toml
  • cmd line options override file ones
  • Options like -o and -i (not implemented yet) would be relative to the config file (if paths are not absolute)
• Make executable for global install

Others

• Rename repo
• output file in the cli layer
• .env
