Block Letters

Have you ever wanted a better way to generate letters out of letters? Likely you have in slack. Fear not! This project solves those woes.

Gotchas

• It seems like slack is really finicky. If you want perfect spacing, the optimal width param is 5 or 6, provided you use an OS provided emojie.
• Monospaced characters like 8 (or w/e you like) work well
• If you use a regular emojie, but use a code block is also works just fine.

Requirements

• Java
• Babashka
