Here is the full list of @ThePracticalDev's ORLY covers: https://github.com/thepracticaldev/orly-full-res

The parody is amusing, but I think a good "Guide Text" really adds the finishing touch.

For instance:

- Developer's guide to pretending to work.

Okay, might be kind of amusing.

Now try:

- Developer's guide to pretending to work: a definitive guide

And it is much better.

In fact, the joke could be in the guide text:

- Developer's guide to pretending to work: [TBD]

I was, um, inspired to make this one: https://imgur.com/a/cKC4f

I wouldn't mind seeing some like this circulating given their recent decisions: https://i.imgur.com/4QZNNM3.png

They should publish this one - http://i.imgur.com/QggKfRp.jpg

then there's a bunch of good ones here: https://www.reddit.com/r/orlybooks/

OK, I'll play. https://imgur.com/a/V0dMl

I might make T-shirts out of some of my generated book covers. Coffee mugs anyone? This is great!

Awh, it doesn't do Japanese kana. I wanted to make a "Learning Japanese - for those who don't wanna", with

「ウンーリダバア！」

i.e. "unreadable" at the top.

I'm disappointed that I didn't specify any guide text, hoping it would default, but I think the image it picked for my image is pretty great given my Top Text.

Wonderful, I had been making O'Reilly joke covers by hand, and it's quite tedious

As with many other services, this one doesn't like non latin characters: https://goo.gl/photos/QFE2ipg2cCgWJUFm8

This is great. Thanks for creating it. I'm trying to think of a better way to pick the animals and colors (color picker?) to make it a bit more convenient, but that's just a small detail.
