I likewise couldn't resist doing something silly with an SVG animation on my profile [1], and I also have a micro startup [2] generating such SVGs periodically to serve as dashboards you can embed in your README.md. I'm interested in more of your predictions!

Haha love it!

The SVG posters are cool, if you're looking for some feedback try to find some way to reduce the lag on the site when previewing them. In Safari on a M1 the site slows to a crawl once the poster SVG is loaded, each click takes several seconds to register. Maybe you could do a low res server side rendered version? That could you let users preview their repos without them being able to just right-click the SVG as well
