Trading card carousel generator

A trading card carousel treats each slide as a collectible: a foil edge, a portrait area, and a stat line that grows as the deck goes on. Cards make people want the set, and a set is exactly what a carousel is.

Collectible framing makes a list worth completing

Cards imply a set, and a set implies missing ones. That instinct is decades old and it works on a feed: a reader who sees card two out of nine wants the other seven.

The stats give you a reason to compare. Once two cards show the same fields with different numbers, readers do the analysis themselves and argue about it in the comments.

What deserves a card

People and things. A team roster, a set of tools with their tradeoffs, clients, speakers at an event, books you finished this year. Anything you would rank fits naturally.

Use the same fields on every card. Different stats per card breaks the comparison, and comparison is the reason this template earns saves rather than likes.

Before you export

Use identical stat fields on every card so readers can compare them.
Give each card one line of character rather than a paragraph of description.
Say how many cards are in the set on the opening slide.
Rank or order the cards so the last one feels like an ending.

— me 👋

Hi, I'm Alexandro 👋

I left my Software Engineer role at Amazon to build tools that solve real problems — the kind big companies ignore because they read spreadsheets instead of using their own products.

I was spending over an hour daily just scheduling 2 shorts across 3 platforms — logging in, reformatting, uploading one by one. That felt broken. So I built PublishQ . Now I create 4 shorts in 3 minutes and schedule them to 4 platforms in under 30 seconds.

PublishQ is bootstrapped. No investors, no vanity metrics. I build what actually helps you — because I use it every day myself.

Thank you,

Alexandro
