As someone who is heavily biased against anything Google, the "related work" paragraph positively surprised me. I wish more software authors would point out alternatives in what I can only describe as a user friendly and generous manner.
Yeah, I know that wonderful individuals work there. As is true for Microsoft and even Facebook and so on. But I saw google.github and was looking for something to not like about it, I have to admit that, and I found nothing. Kudos and thanks to the author.
As someone who's contributed to one of the "related" alternatives, I'm struck by the beauty of a JS-based solution. With the browser able to produce the SVGs on its own, on demand, they need never be stored (assuming all viewing is to be done in a browser).

Google is made of people and Sam is a delightful person that you don't need to be "biased" against.
