A tool to very easily convert text into letter emojis for writing giant text in Slack.
You can install BigText by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo curl -L -o /usr/local/bin/bigtext https://github.com/dnsbty/big_text/releases/download/latest/big_text ; sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/bigtext
After installing, you can then convert any text you want by running
bigtext your text here
The text will be converted and printed out, and if you have pbcopy
in your path, it will also be copied to your clipboard.
If you would like jankier text (using :invisible_parrot: instead of four spaces to replace spaces), just add the jank
flag:
bigtext janky text --jank
BigText is written as an Escript in Elixir. In order to run it, you will need to have Elixir and Erlang installed.
To build BigText, run
mix escript.build
You can then run BigText with
./big_text whatever you want to convert
