👾 Gitgenix - Draw Your GitHub Contribution Art Like a Pro!

Hey developers! I'm super excited to share Gitgenix, a side-project turned dev-art tool where you draw, and GitHub displays.

💡 What is Gitgenix?
A smart GitHub contribution graph generator that lets you:

🖌️ Draw your own pattern on a canvas
📅 Generate .sh scripts to reflect that pattern on your contribution calendar
🔄 Support multiple years of contributions (hello, legacy artists!)
💾 Save & load designs as JSON patterns
🔗 Share your creations via unique links
☁️ Store everything online with Firebase
🎨 And all of it wrapped in a beautiful UI/UX that’s smooth, modern, and fun

🛠️ Built With:

Next.js (App Router)
Firebase for real-time storage
TailwindCSS + Framer Motion for pixel-perfect UX
A mix of custom hooks and smart time logic

🎯 Why I Built It?
Because... ➡️ I wanted to turn GitHub graphs into art ➡️ I love seeing utility + creativity combine ➡️ And let’s be honest: writing your name or drawing a smiley face in contributions? Peak dev flex.

Try it out. Make something wild. Maybe a cat? Your initials? A timeline of heartbreaks? (I don’t judge.)

🚀 Open to feedback, collaborations, or just a friendly “this is cool”!
