Generate motivational memes that are images with quotes and author signatures.
User can supply their own image and quotes or can be generated randomly from the apps image and qoute directory.
Implementation is twofold: a CLI driven usage or through a web browser (Flask implementation)

1. Go to directory
2. Create venv python -m venv venv
3. Activate venv source venv/bin/activate or .\venv\Scripts\activate.bat on Windows
4. Install requirements pip install -r requirements.txt

• Python 3.10.5
• pdftotext CLI application
• required packages are listed in requirements.txt
• Flask
• web browser

Run the meme.py with the following optional parameters:

• path - original image
• body - qoute text
• author - quote author

Export app as a FLASK_APP and navigate to the ip address with a browser.

1. navigate to the project directory
2. run export FLASK_APP=app.py or set FLASK_APP=app.py on Windows
3. run flask run --host 0.0.0.0 --port 3000 --reload
4. Get the IP adress and port printed by Flask
5. Access with a web browser

Module for ingesting qoutes from a number of different file types. Individual ingestors are developed for CSV, TXT, DOCX and PDF files and are packaged into an ingestor module.

Module for generating the memes. Uses python Pillow library for resizing and captioning images.
