I wrote this yesterday so it's a WIP but it's fairly complete. It's a tiny pixel art editor for your terminal. There's a screenshot in the link above so check it out.

- Vim hjkl movement.

- Supports 256 terminal palette.

- Supports true color terminals (all hex colors).

- Draw with any character or string.

- Save and load "screens".

- Open regular text files for editing.

- Responsive on window resize.

It's all pure bash minus a call to `stty` if the hack to get terminal lines/columns in pure bash fails. I also need to figure out a way to export to an image file. Right now when you save/load a "screen" it just logs all key-presses to a file.

Mess around with it and let me know when you break it. :P
