Welcome to the Meme Generator. Ever wonder where all of those internet memes come from? Well not from here, but now you to can share your sense of humor with the online world by turning photos into memes. With your own creativity and the click of a button you have a meme that can be copied and shared.
Well the answer to those questions are no and no. This project was built as a personal learning experience for me to dive into using REACT and Redux, and more importantly for just plain fun. So please meme away.

The Meme Generator was built to be simple and fun, and in my opinion, nothing allows you to do this easier than using REACT. However I have to give a huge shoutout for the free version of imgflip.com API. This API allows access to a free database of hundreds of images just awaiting to be memeafied (yes I made that word up). To use, simply add your own text to one or both of the input boxes at the top of the page. The input boxes are labeled top and bottom to specify where you want the meme text to appear.
After you have decided on what the funniest text ever would be, click on the photo that you want to memefy (another made up word, sorry), and it will create your new meme above the text input boxes.
The Meme Generator was made using several front-end web technologies including:
- HTML5
- CSS3
- Javascript
- JSX
- REACT
- Redux
- ES6
- imgflip.com API
Well, probably not. I always think things can be improved, but as mentioned before this was built as a learning experience and mostly for fun. However I am always open to feedback and suggestions. So please get in touch if you have any ideas.
