Move Pyramid Scheme poster QR codes to a translated template!

About

Pyramid Scheme is very fun! What’s not fun? Not getting your referrals because your country isn’t fluent in English!

This is why I made this tool, you input your poster(s) and a translation template and it will place your fresh QR codes in the translated poster templates.
Conclusion: Less manual labor and more referrals !

How to use:

  1. Enter the demo website here.
  2. Upload a poster(s) generated from Pyramid Scheme.
  3. Upload a translation template.
  4. Click translate.
  5. Enjoy your localized posters!

You can also find translation templates in the website.

This project uses AI

Used AI to understand the core functionality of PyMuPDF / fitz and how to read data with it.
Used AI to debug and help with client upload integration (for vercel’s payload limit)

So, This project is a tool that translates Pyramid Scheme Posters, I’ve Improved it a bit with the clarity of the homepage and adding themes, It should be more intuitive how to use it now, this ship contains some changes I made on the way of the migration from Railway to Vercel, some README and github page changes, and the cosmetic changes, the migration changes should’ve come out with the last ship but I wasn’t familiar with FT so I didn’t reship.

I built a website to translate the Pyramid Scheme posters!
When I discovered Pyramid Scheme I realized that an english poster wouldn’t get a lot of scans in a spanish speaking country, that’s when I manually translated the flavortown poster and moved the QR to it, but this was a very slow process and you could even miss or duplicate a QR.
That’s why I made a website where you can upload the freshly generated posters and a translation template (A one page poster PDF without the QR code and translated text), Click translate and get a translated batch of posters!

This is my first Hack Club project and I feel that it will better globalize hack clubs reach!

This may be the final devlog, from testing the tool works and looks nice!
Changes:

  • Added styling to the website.
  • Added error handling:
  • Translation template should only contain one page!
  • Couldn’t open PDF files! Make sure the files are PDFs!
  • Translation template size mismatch with document, QR codes would result misplaced!
  • Couldn’t find QR code! Make sure that you didn’t mix up the PFDs!

I finally added the web app core functionality!
Although it currently stabs your eyes and screams at you instead of helping you when you don’t use it right I think it could already even count as an MVP.
Changes:

  • Added web application, select generated posters and translation template and get translated posters.
  • Added a small selection of spanish translation templates (they are a bit rushed)

This project occured to me when I translated a poster and then got the idea to make it easier for everyone in the comunity!

You input a Pyramid Scheme generated english poster, a pdf of the translated version and get out the combination of both worlds.
Ideally it will be a webside and I will add multiple page functionality!
