Frequently asked questions
Can I use the takeout box art in a delivery service's online chat?
You can try, but many customer service chats do not support monospace fonts, so the art might break. It's safer to use it in less formal settings where monospace rendering is more reliable, like Discord or personal messages.
What's a good way to use this in a project README file?
If your project relates to food, delivery, or even a simple API that 'serves' data, the takeout box can be a fun header or separator. Place it near a 'Getting Started' section or a 'Contributing' guide for a visual break. Use the medium size for good visibility.
