Hi all,
Could one of the matchbox wizards out there make a matchbox that has all the socials grids in it that you could cycle through or is it a pain in the arse to keep updated and that’s why there isn’t one?

provide all of the specifications and you helped that developer from having to spend precious time trawling for details.
They change frequently, or are often non-existant. We have the tools to create them ourselves. As Phil noted, the time intensive part is finding the proper specs.
i expect that all you need is a way to parse XML or json, but the endless misery of finding the specifications is a Sisyphean task, best left to someone who has time to burn.

I thought these would be the answers! Just thought I’d take a punt. I keep forgetting to collect/save built overlays (I freelance at a few different places). Like you guys say the everchanging spec’s are the root of the problem.
thanks anyway
I see Instagram and tiktok standards changing so often… I make the client provide the safe guides.

Every time I follow one of those the client makes me put everything back where it was for the regular 16x9. But, of course, I have to show them first.
This is the kind that changes so frequently, I make the client provide it.

As Tim says, most clients don’t want to know
