I'm not sure I understand your message, i.e. whether you'd like to prototype
on your own and you're missing some sources in which case I think you should be
able to download the SVG and extract everything necessary from it with whatever
editor you prefer or you'd like me to make another variants with the URL
website and test it with the hexb.in repo.
