Author here, thanks for sharing the essay & archive!

Tell me about it... I have plans to migrate this to a static HTML at some point.

Slanted magazine did an issue recently on digital tools and compiled their own list: https://www.slanted.de/news/digital-tools/ The issue has screenshots of many of them: https://w…

This is my list, thanks for sharing! It started out as a list for ASCII and textmode art editors but grew to include all kinds of alternative design tools. I've hosted two workshop…

I made this, thank you so much for your kind words! The show source toggle is shamelessly stolen from another awesome blog, https://garten.salat.dev/

Maker here. Just found this thread... Thank you so much for your nice words! :)

Thank you for this! I had come across it by name before but totally forgot about it until you mentioned it again. I'll have to hunt it down, seems like some antique bookshops have …

Yes, I agree. Thank you for the advice and leads, much appreciated! I will dig into these. The archive is scoped to letterpress only, so that will automatically skew it more toward…

Thank you! It has taken me a long time. The two main methods: 1. Text content search with keywords/sentences or people's names. This is the best way, but finding good keywords is h…

Thank you! If you click on the images, you get a zoomable, full resolution view.

Hey all, I made this. The archive started with my 2015 BA thesis on Amiga ASCII art when I was curious about the history of ASCII art but found very little on text art that came be…

I keep a list of all current ASCII art (and related + other creative tools) editors out there, if you're interested: https://hlnet.notion.site/text-art-tools I recommend Moebius fo…

I made a syntax highlighting font (also mentioned as an inspiration to Z80 sans): https://blog.glyphdrawing.club/font-with-built-in-syntax-hig...

I made a paint app for toddlers recently, exactly because I couldn't find anything fun & useable & educational: https://glyphdrawingclub.itch.io/mr-baby-paint

Thank you! :)

I made an interactive viewer some time ago (scroll down a bit): https://blog.glyphdrawing.club/the-origins-of-del-0x7f-and-i... It really helps understand the logic of ASCII.

I didn't mean to imply that I find all positive content boring — just the kind of positive content that would rise to /r/all in reddit at that time, which was mostly quickly digest…

I also found it a very good thing. After the API use ban, and losing my blocklist, I couldn't go back to browsing normal reddit anymore and was finally able to quit after 10+ years…

Back when Reddit allowed API access, I used a reader (rif) which allowed blocking subreddits. I did an experiment where I would browse /r/all and block any subreddit that had a tox…
