"Inspiration" links removed from pillar, find a new place in this package? #649

Closed krlmlr closed 3 years ago

krlmlr commented 3 years ago

I'm removing the following contents from pillar's readme in https://github.com/r-lib/pillar/pull/267, because they no longer apply:

Inspirations

  • TextPlots for use of Braille characters

  • spark for use of block characters.

The earliest use of unicode characters to generate sparklines appears to be from 2009.

Exercising these ideas to their fullest requires a font with good support for block drawing characters. PragamataPro is one such font.

Would you like to use some or all of it somewhere in this package?

Hi Kirill!

We'd be happy to take ownership of these pieces. Feel free to open a PR.

Thanks! Michael
