What is readme-typing-svg?

Readme Typing SVG is a service that generates animated image files for use in GitHub profile pages, repository descriptions, or websites. The animation shows text appearing character by character, as if someone is typing it, and then deleting it before the next line appears. You embed the result as a single image link, and visitors see the animation play automatically in their browser. To use it, you copy a short Markdown snippet into your GitHub profile README and change the text after the URL's lines parameter. Multiple lines of text are separated by semicolons. You can adjust the font, size, speed, colors, and other display options through URL parameters. A live demo site lets you preview changes before copying the final link. The service runs as a hosted tool, so there is nothing to install for basic use. You just paste the link and it works. For people who want to self-host or modify how it works, the source code is available and written in PHP. Customization options mentioned in the README include font choice, text color, background color, animation speed, pause duration between lines, cursor style, and whether the text is centered or left-aligned. You can also control the width and height of the generated image to fit different layouts. The project is commonly used by developers who want their GitHub profile to look more dynamic. It has been adopted by a large number of public profiles and is open to contributions through the standard GitHub fork-and-pull-request process.
