Would be super-cool to have a backend that renders in the terminal 🤘
And could actually be useful to quickly test something from a terminal session, especially if you're on a remote machine via SSH.
One (simple) approach is to make each char a pixel, and simply set that chars background to the appropriate color. A more sophisticated approach would use ASCII rendering so that a group of pixels can map to a certain character, taking coverage and shape of the chars into account. I saw a super-interesting blog-post or video about that some weeks ago but I cannot find the link right now.
I have some code here from which we could take what's needed; I think we could make it dependency-free.
(not a high priority, mostly making an issue to allow my head to forget the idea for now 😄)
