Looks really cool. I hope you don't mind (I see it's your first free software project), but I've opened a PR to add GPLv3 notices so that it's easier to find out what the license for your code is. I'd recommend doing this for all future projects, as it makes it much easier for people wanting to use your code or package your software what license they have to comply with. Contrary to popular opinion, not specifying a license makes your code proprietary (though you did mention the license at the very end of your README, which is something).
