Monospace Grid System

The project uses a character-based grid system for precise layouts:

<Grid cols={2} gap={2}>
    <div>Perfectly</div>
    <div>Aligned</div>
</Grid>

Grid utilities ensure proper alignment:

import { alignToGrid, toCharUnit } from '$lib/utils/grid';

const width = toCharUnit(alignToGrid(40)); // "40ch"

Terminal Component

Interactive terminal interface for command demonstrations:

const commands = [
    {
        cmd: 'echo "Hello"',
        output: 'Hello'
    }
];

terminal.loadCommands(commands);
