I made a neat terminal-friendly cross hatching effect with unicode
this effect is accomplished by alternating these two grayscale ramps in a checker pattern btw:
"▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█"
"▏▎▍▌▋▊▉█"
I made a shadertoy version of it if anyone wants to play around with it https://www.shadertoy.com/view/4f2fDc
@aeva this has a curious half-analog half-digital vibe to it, love it!
