algoheader's Issues

Starter problems on my machine

Hi there!

Saw your project on lobsters and was curious 😀

A couple of thoughts:

• You might want to remark in the Installation section of the README that Ruby 3 is required
• It seems that the Gem is missing rmagick as a dependency
• A picture in the README would be great so that people know what kind of images are generated

I also have problems running it:

$ algoheader
/home/phylor/.rbenv/versions/3.0.2/lib/ruby/gems/3.0.0/gems/algoheader-0.0.1/lib/algoheader/svg_generator.rb:40:in `initialize': wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 0) (ArgumentError)
        from /home/phylor/.rbenv/versions/3.0.2/lib/ruby/gems/3.0.0/gems/algoheader-0.0.1/lib/algoheader/svg_generator.rb:40:in `initialize'

        from /home/phylor/.rbenv/versions/3.0.2/lib/ruby/gems/3.0.0/gems/algoheader-0.0.1/lib/algoheader/base.rb:111:in `block in <top (required)>'
        from /home/phylor/.rbenv/versions/3.0.2/lib/ruby/gems/3.0.0/gems/algoheader-0.0.1/lib/algoheader/base.rb:108:in `times'

Didn't look into the code yet to figure out what's wrong. Does the published gem work for you?

Include screenshot ?

Hi, not an issue per se but just thinking your project would greatly benefit from including visual assets (examples of generated images).

I did not find any image / any link that displayed images of such headers (that might have impressed me)
