WeRead Year in Review Video Template

Create a vertical HyperFrames composition for annual reading reports: WeRead, Goodreads, Readwise, Notion reading logs, book clubs, or personal learning recaps. The template turns reading time, active days, bookshelf assets, notes, keywords, and a reading persona into a shareable 9:16 video.

The rendered MP4 showcase used by example.html is hosted at https://repo-assets.open-design.ai/resources/videos/skills/weread-year-in-review-video-template/default-showcase.mp4.

Workflow

  1. Copy assets/template.html to index.html.
  2. Replace the default report data in the REPORT object:
    • owner/title
    • reading hours and active days
    • bookshelf and completion stats
    • note composition
    • interest keywords
    • reading persona and share line
  3. Preserve the 12-scene timeline unless the user asks for a shorter cut.
  4. Keep the WeRead-inspired visual language:
    • warm paper background
    • ink-blue typography
    • restrained WeRead green accents
    • book pages, bookmarks, highlights, note cards, and shelf metaphors
  5. Motion should feel like flipping through a reading journal. Avoid techy slide transitions, bouncy UI effects, and dashboard-loading motion.
  6. Keep the composition deterministic:
    • direct data-start, data-duration, and data-track-index attributes
    • no unseeded randomness
    • no infinite loops or repeat: -1
    • no dependency on scroll, hover, localStorage, or runtime class discovery
  7. Validate against references/checklist.md before emitting.

Output Contract

Emit one short orientation sentence, then a single HTML artifact:

<artifact identifier="weread-year-in-review-video-template" type="text/html" title="WeRead Year in Review Video Template">
<!doctype html>
<html>...</html>
</artifact>
FAQ

What is HyperFrames?

HyperFrames is a technology that allows creating animations and videos directly in the browser using HTML code.

Do I need to know how to code to use this?

No, you only need to replace the example data with yours. The template is already set up for use.

What format is the final video?

The final video is generated in MP4 format, which is ideal for sharing online.
