Listing Builder
A Windows companion to Krusto that automates the whole Etsy listing workflow - from reading the pattern PDF to a ready to upload bundle.
How it works
Start by selecting the pattern's PDF scheme and its stitched preview image.
Overview
Listing Builder is a Windows tool that automates Etsy listing creation. With the Gemini API built in, it writes the description, title and tags for a listing. The mockup processing speeds up making the product images, and it automates the extra PDF editing too - importing the data straight from the pattern's PDF.
The problem
Preparing a single listing is a quite amount of work - editing the PDF with information and tips, creating the mockups, and writing the description. It's slow, repetitive work, and it's the same routine for every pattern.
The solution
This app automatically builds the PDF and the listing's title, description and tags. Making mockups is much faster too - you can preview an almost-finished mockup and just shift the stitched pattern into the right place if needed.
Outcome & future plans
It has definitely sped up the process, and I no longer need to use several different tools to get the same result. Next I'd like to optimise it for better performance, add more mockup templates, and rework the PDF-editing logic a little.
