* how to use *

• paste your passage and add a short header.
• export a high-res image when it feels right.

* how it works *

1. we count words per paragraph and compute an ellipse size (3:2 ratio) using a mixed linear/area model.
2. a tight uniform scale is found so everything fits the 2000×2800 canvas without overlap.
3. paragraphs are rect-packed (reading order bias), then each sentence gets a mini-center-of-gravity.
4. words are placed by a light flow layout + relaxation inside each sentence orbit, preserving order and avoiding collisions.
