Funny too, I was just browsing through this thread today: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/123378/command-line-unix...

And https://v2.wttr.in/ is decent.

I think you'll find that ASCII-only is very limiting, and a few Unicode symbols like the Braille dots would make a big difference. That's been my experience anyways making ASCII things.

Wagon wheels in particular seem like a very tough ASCII challenge -- I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Yes the site was inspired by plaintextsports.com and I have credited them as well!

One thing I decided was I will use only ASCII and will stay away from unicode chars. But now when I’m trying to plot a wagon wheel or a heatmap, it’s becoming tricky. i will update you once I have something solid!
