Hi,

I have posted this feature request as an issue on github:
    https://github.com/mysociety/fixmytransport/issues/392
including rounding up the things posted, and posting my own thoughts on PDF generation and print stylesheets.

ATB,
Matthew

Hi everyone,

This is one of my occasional 'would anyone feel like hacking this as a
volunteer?' appeals. Here goes...

I'm spending a fair bit of time leaving comments on FixMyTransport
problems, suggesting what people might do in order to get the things
they want fixing, fixed.

Quite often, the honest answer is that the best thing that they can
probably do is print a page of A4 with an appeal, and stick it on/next
to the bus stop where they wait for their problematic bus.

What would be REALLY COOL is this - a web page where I could stick the
URL of a campaign page, which it would then scrape in order to produce
a PDF or easy-to-print HTML page containing:

a) The appeal text printed really big, saying something like "Please
support my attempt to persuade Arriva to run this bus on time"

b) The more details text printed slightly smaller

c) An easy to read short URL, printed quite big - along with some
words which say "To sign up on your phone, open this URL"

d) A QR code for the cool kids.

If someone would hack this for me then me, Myf and the emerging new
generation of volunteers could use it all the time make nice little
printable pages for FMT users, which we'd post as links on their
pages.

Is there anyone in here who would be kind enough to give this a go? Or
a pair of people who might work together?

thanks!

Tom
