Apart from a cute cuddly shark plushie from IKEA, BLÅHAJ is a lolcat-like CLI tool that colorizes your input, shows flags and prints colorful sharks!
It has a wide variety of flags/colors to choose from and many options from flag size to whether to colorize by line, word or character.
You can download one of the statically-linked pre-built binaries from the releases page.
They are built & published by our lovely actions.
Arch Linux users can install the blahaj (or the blahaj-git) AUR package.

$ make
(or$ make static
on Alpine Linux for a static build)# make install
Releases are already in mt mode. It makes BLÅHAJ a lot faster:
$ make build_mt
(or$ make static_mt
on Alpine Linux for a static build)# make install
Flags with eg. triangles, circles or symbols, need enough horizontal space to determine where and how to display them. BLÅHAJ can't know in advance how long the input is going to be.
Just like the previous question, BLÅHAJ can't know how long the text is going to be (vertically) since it colorizes the input as it comes in.
Great! Follow the Contributing section and modify data/colors.yaml.
