In plain words

Faux Code Generator transforms real code into visually abstracted representations for use in designs and illustrations. It creates editable SVGs from actual code with syntax highlighting, allowing users to either generate random examples or import their own GitHub Gists. The tool is designed for designers and illustrators who need realistic-looking code imagery for technical mockups and marketing materials without displaying functional code.

Therefore I am now working on this to combine the benefits of both into just one tool which can do both functions. The project is certainly in the early stages but if you find yourself making architecture diagrams I'd love to hear your thoughts on the idea or even a Github issue for a feature…
