ByteForge FIGLet Suite A unified ecosystem for generating ASCII art banners across editors, libraries, and terminals.

---

🌐 Overview

The ByteForge FIGLet Suite is a cross‑platform ecosystem for creating stylish ASCII art banners using the classic FIGLet specification. It includes libraries, IDE extensions, and command‑line tools that make it easy to generate and insert FIGLet text anywhere — from code comments to terminal output.

🧩 Ecosystem Components

Component	Description	Language	Link
FIGLet .NET Library	A .NET implementation of FIGLet. Powers the Visual Studio extension and FigPrint CLI.	C#	NuGet
FIGLet TS Library	TypeScript implementation for Node.js and web environments. Powers the VS Code extension.	TypeScript	NPM
Visual Studio Extension	Adds FIGLet banner generation directly into Visual Studio.	C#	VS Extension
VS Code Extension	Generate FIGLet banners in VS Code with live preview and comment wrapping.	TypeScript	VSCode Extension
FigPrint CLI	Command‑line tool for rendering FIGLet text in the terminal.	C#	winget install ByteForge.FIGPrint(*)

(*): A PR for inclusion of FIGPrint CLI into the WinGet library is currently pending review. (see #355518)
