Every petal, leaf and stem is a parametric curve computed in Lua as the page is written, painted like watercolor and dropped straight into the PDF — no images, no imported paths. One document places its garden by hand; the other grows it, a greedy loop filling whatever space the text leaves free, down to the gap below a short last page. Worth a look for the mottled washes and white veins alone.

Found this on Show HN today and squealed. TitleArt rebuilds classic WordArt in the browser: pick a style from the gallery, bend and slant your words, pile on shadows, 3-D and even motion, then export a PNG, SVG, GIF or video. The maker matched the old presets by eye from screenshots, so the rainbow gradients look just like the school computer room did. Made by Davey Barker (davidbarker on HN), not me!
