Show HN: ASCII pixel art editor for the terminal

Category: cli-tool

Tags: ascii-art, terminal, pixel-editor

Score: 5.0/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 5, Documentation: 6, Utility: 4)

Perkins is a terminal-based ASCII pixel art editor that uses braille characters for rendering images, combining image conversion and editing in a single tool. It offers mouse and vim keybindings, with clear install instructions and a help menu, though it remains a niche utility for terminal enthusiasts. Its tie to the Perkins Brailler is a clever historical nod.

Target audience: backend devs, CLI enthusiasts
