Tattoy is a terminal enhancement framework that renders graphics using UTF8 half-blocks, supporting GPU shaders and ShaderToy shaders, and provides a live-updating minimap of the terminal scrollback. It automatically adjusts text contrast, is compatible with existing shells and themes, and allows running commands in the background, such as audio visualizations or system monitors. Plus, Tattoy features a plugin system enabling developers to extend functionality using any language.
