Usage

Run the script:

You'll be prompted to:

• Enter a URL of a blog post, OR
• Paste the blog text directly

The script will generate an SVG visualization based on the content. The resulting SVG will be saved as output.svg in the same directory.

Notes on Visualization Quality

Despite experimenting with various prompts, I've found that the Gemini (2.0 Flash) API doesn't consistently produce visually appealing results for this use case. In comparison, tests with Claude AI (via claude.ai/chats) produced significantly better visualizations for the same inputs.
