Capysay

A Rust-based CLI tool for customizable Capybara ASCII art with colorful messages.

Features

• Custom Messages: Specify any message for the Capybara to "say."
• Dead Mode: Add X eyes with a flag to make the Capybara appear "dead."
• Colorful Output: Styled text with the colored crate.
• Identity Guard: Ensures the Capybara retains its dignity (no "meowing").
• TUI Mode: A text-based user interface for crafting your Capybara messages interactively.
• GUI Placeholder: Stub for future GUI support.

cargo install capysay
