I like the idea of a design tool that helps making nice looking infographics. Initially I assumed that the graphics would also be generated, or at least be looked up in a relatively extensive database. However, it appears that the template dictates the layout and the only thing that is really generated is the text, which imo does not warrant a specific tool. In the end, I think this tool is a little misleading currently and could be a lot more than what it currently is

Thank you for your suggestion. I made this to solve my personal problem of generating pictures when writing blogs and social media posts.

I also considered using AI generation tools to generate similar pictures, but they were all unstable, so I only made this tool.

Currently, this tool does support fewer templates, and the effect of generating copy depends on the template. Do you think it is a good idea to add some different types of templates in the future, or use AI to select templates?

I agree that in my experience, AI image generation does generally still struggle a lot with generating nice simplistic graphics relevant for these types of uses. However, I think the idea of having a large enough catalogue of graphics, pictograms, and backgrounds that an "AI" could choose from based on the instructions would give a much more customized experience.
