A full-stack AI quote API inspired by the TV series Mr. Robot. It generates dark, philosophical, hacker-style quotes and serves them as JSON endpoints and beautiful themed SVG cards — perfect for GitHub profile READMEs.

I’ve always been a huge fan of Mr. Robot. The show’s atmosphere — paranoia, isolation, corporate control, and the quiet rebellion of people who see the system for what it really is — stuck with me long after finishing it. Elliot’s monologues, Mr. Robot’s rage, Whiterose’s obsession with time… it all felt like poetry written in code.

This project started as a simple idea: what if I could generate original quotes that felt like they belonged in that universe? I wanted something that wasn’t just a static list of fan quotes, but a living system — one that could create new lines every day, style them like a terminal, and drop them straight into a GitHub README as a glowing SVG card.
