• Long-form content (keep to 1-10 words)
• Urgent safety alerts (plain text is faster)

# With emotion
./scripts/iblipper.sh "Breaking News" hurry

# Light mode
./scripts/iblipper.sh "Good Morning" idyllic light

# [▶️ Click me!](https://...)

Tips

• Keep text concise — 1-5 words have the most impact
• Use hyperlinks by default — faster, works everywhere
• Use GIF export for Signal/iMessage — inline images look great
• Always use share=yes in hyperlinks — skips landing page
• Match emotion to message — excited for celebrations, emphatic for important stuff
• Dark mode looks better — dark=true is usually the way to go
• Use sparingly — if every message is animated, none are special
