arttime VS figlet

Below is a collection of figures from arttime's manpage. It can be opened with arttime -m or man arttime from terminal. You can also see arttime's manpage (without colors) in your web browser: arttime manwebpage.

arttime is a terminal application that blends beauty of text-art with functionality of clock, timer, and pattern-based time manager. One can also display customized dynamic feed of information like weather, news, stocks, system metrics and etc. The above GIF shows that a feeder can be used to display weather in arttime.

Please read sections ORCHESTRATING and CONTRIBUTING (which has a software spec) in [arttime man txt](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/poetaman/arttime/main/shar...). to understand how to write custom information feeders. They can be written in any language, and should be quite simple. Please get in touch if you write something of common interest. Link to such feeders will get added to arttime's page, and best ones will get special mention. Here's an example that shows how line of text under art can be remotely updated to show "Hello World":

```

v2.3.0 of arttime enables silent remote updates for exciting information feeders, adds illustrative manpage, and new .deb package. One can write a customized information feeder in language of choice. Please feel free to share if you write something of value to others, a link to your work will be added to arttime's page. Links:

It's mentioned on the README.md's Troubleshooting section: https://github.com/poetaman/arttime#troubleshooting. Having seen fellow humans, I opine that not many will reach there.

Package managers should agree to remove software from a platform if the developer thinks it's not fruitful for them to keep publishing there, or it's detrimental to the user's experience.

arttime is a clock, timer, time manager, ASCII/ANSI/PETSCII/Unicode text-art and ~animation/storyboard viewer that comes with a library of curated quality text-art. Notes: it's coded in zsh, but that's not required to be user's shell to install or use. If you would like to collaborate on a package for a package manager, among other things, feel free to drop a note in arttime discussions.

Pragmasevka on GitHub. Add some ASCII art from arttime’s collection too: https://github.com/poetaman/arttime

Figlet: makes big text with ascii art. http://www.figlet.org/

Need to change font, size, italics? - Not a problem. The tool knows how to do this simply with argulet.

figlet is the classic tool to generate these, toilet is a slightly more modern reimplementation with some added features (like color)

I love this and I'm going to use it for fancy comments in code and in the browser console. It'd be really cool if you could integrate something like http://www.figlet.org/ for inserting ASCII text art.

I wish I had known about this tool when I building this little browser game https://replit.com/@aMoniker/Gush because all the levels & game objects are generated from multiline strings of ascii symbols, and it just took too long to do manually.

Tip: use figlet next time.
