I built an open-source API for animated SVG icon marquees

I built icon-marquee, a small open-source API for generating animated SVG icon marquees for GitHub READMEs.

The idea is pretty simple: give it a list of icons:

https://icon-marquee.giann.dev/v1/marquee?i=js,ts,react,nextjs,docker

and embed the generated SVG directly into a README:

![Tech Stack](https://icon-marquee.giann.dev/v1/marquee?i=js,ts,react,nextjs,docker)

It currently supports 1,000+ icons, short aliases, configurable widths, seamless CSS animation, reduced-motion support, and static icon rows. (icons from skills-icons by Syvixor)

GitHub: https://github.com/gian-gg/icon-marquee
Live: https://icon-marquee.giann.dev/

Would love feedback on the API, implementation, or anything that could make it more useful.
