- Formats - GIF, PNG, JPEG (SVG and TIFF not tested yet)
- Max Image size is 500px by 500px
Features TODO List
- Caption Position - Top Center or Bottom Center positions for the caption
- Add options for [font size, positions] (Code already setup for this, expect new version soon!)
- Add --source-random option incase there is no source provided.
- Add --caption-color for more colorful captions
- Submission to lgtm.in
- Keyword's based Query google images and return the first found item
- Interactive mode that allow adjusting LGTM captions
- Add progress bar for the whole generation process
- Support multiple LGTM texts
- Need to add RSpect test. Target is 90% code coverage on code climate.
- Need to refactor Lgtm_HD module for a more generic approach so it can become a meme generator in the future, not just LGTM.
