PlaceKeanu vs Readme typing SVG

PlaceKeanu

PlaceKeanu generates novelty placeholder images of Keanu Reeves sized entirely from the request path (/[width]/[height]/[options]), with no signup or API key needed. Each photo is served as an inline base64-encoded SVG and cached client-side for a day, so repeat requests at the same dimensions return the same image rather than a fresh random one. Optional y and g path suffixes request a younger-Keanu or grayscale variant.

Readme typing SVG

Readme Typing SVG renders an animated typewriter-effect SVG from a `lines` query parameter, meant to be dropped straight into a GitHub profile README or repo as an `<img>` tag — no signup or key required. Query options control font, colors, size, typing speed, and pause duration, and a hosted demo page lets you preview and copy the generated markdown live. The service is open source (DenverCoder1 on GitHub) and runs on a Heroku-backed host behind Cloudflare.
