# greentext

The GreenText Generator CLI is a command-line tool built with Go that lets you create classic greentext with ease.

## Features

- **Customizable Inputs**: Write your own green-text stories with ease.
- **Thumbnail Support**: Add an image to your greentext, or don't if you're feeling minimalist.
- **Support for External Thumbnails**: Use image URLs as thumbnails for your greentext.
- **Customizable Colors**: Set background and text colors using HEX codes.
- **Dynamic Font Options**: Choose your preferred font and size.
- **Formatted Output**: Saves greentext as beautifully formatted PNGs, JPGs, JPEGs, and WEBPs ready for sharing.
