Bachin Draw Assistant

This Flask application generates stroke-based SVG files from a Shopify customer CSV. Each SVG is personalized with a custom message using Hershey fonts and can be sent to a Bachin plotter for writing notes.

Setup

1. Install Python 3 and clone this repository.
2. (Optional) Create a virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run the server locally:

   python app.py

   The app will be available at http://localhost:5000.

Usage

1. Prepare a CSV with a First Name column.
2. Open the app in your browser and upload the CSV.
3. Enter a message template using [First Name] as the placeholder.
4. Choose a Hershey font and generate the SVG notes.
5. Download the generated files for use with your plotter.
