I don't know why I find doge so funny, but this is great. Unfortunately "very view" causes Chrome and Chrome Beta to crash on a Nexus 5/Android 4.4.2. I get the idea though.

Hi, thanks! It's a node app with some simple canvas rendering code. The rendering code is shared by the client and server. The text splitting is rather simple too but I had fun writing it. It's open-source of course! https://github.com/codazzo/dogr

Looks like Chrome for Android is crashing because the serialized png is too large. Just sent a quick pull request that exports a smaller jpg instead.
