Beautiful coding quotes for your GitHub README

CodeQuote renders a random programming quote as a self-contained SVG card on every request. Drop one image tag into your README and it just works β€” no JavaScript, no database, no account.

🌐 Live Website

✨ Features
πŸ”€ Random on every request A fresh quote is selected from a curated set each time the endpoint is hit.
🧩 Self-contained SVG No external images or fonts, so the card renders identically anywhere it's embedded.
πŸ“„ README-ready Built specifically to sit inside a Markdown image tag on GitHub, GitLab, or npm.
🎨 Themeable Switch between dark, light, or an auto-adapting GitHub-aware theme via a query parameter.
πŸ›‘οΈ No account, no database Nothing to sign up for and nothing about you gets stored.
πŸ™ Open source MIT licensed. Read the code, self-host it, or send a pull request.

πŸš€ Usage

Paste the snippet below anywhere in your README.md. GitHub re-fetches the image on every view, so the quote changes over time.

![Coding Quote](/uploads/posts/inline-8e0d8bb0de.svg)

That's it β€” no setup, no API key, no build step.
