Description

Description:

While the backend/API supports fetching random backgrounds from Unsplash using the bgSource=unsplash and an optional unsplashQuery, there is currently no way for users to interactively select these options and preview the results from the React dashboard UI.

This feature would let users experiment with different background sources and Unsplash queries, and immediately see how their quote cards will look, without needing to edit URLs or reload pages manually.

This feature feature was made available as part of the recent release https://github.com/shravan20/github-readme-quotes/pull/336

You can take a look into this implementation and accordingly implement the UI for this

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the linked PR (#336) to understand the backend implementation for Unsplash, then create a UI component in the React dashboard that allows users to select bgSource and unsplashQuery, and preview the quote card result. Ensure the preview updates dynamically based on user selections.
