Banner Generator

Have you recently gone to make a post and realized you don't have a banner? Well, that happened to me, too. I did find a few generators, but I do like the idea of keeping it all in-house.

No, I don't mean a private banner generator. In fact, did you know one of our own dev.to writers made one years go? Christopher Kade made one that allows for text, emoji's, background color and borders. However, it hasn't been updated in almost 5 years.

I did fork and clone it, ran
npm install && npm start with no dice. I noticed the yarn.lock file and ran yarn install && yarn run start. Again, no dice. npm update && npm upgrade saw a lot of updates... 700+ lines of updates.

Now, the kicker is that packages have been moved, archived, or fully depreciated. So what do we do? Well, in this case, there is only one real choice, time for a re-write.

I'm starting to notice a pattern in my adventures...

Two different series, started in the same week. Oh, this will be so much fun.
