The Mac app is still a paid app, but given the iOS ecosystem, it seems they decided it was not worth trying to charge for it. It's a bit sad but a great deal!

Exactly

Right, it was tongue in cheek. There is of course some data in there :-) I suppose what I meant is that it is lossy: you cannot get back what you "INSERT". That violates a pretty b…

An interesting consequence of contentless tables is that you end up with a database that does not have data. Should we still call it a database? :)

I actually did consider this when writing the "parser" but it was complicated enough that it was just getting in the way of my goal of having the simplest code and specs that got t…

I added a link to it on asciimage.org

Be my guest :-) I added the js port on asciimage.org. There is a Go version as well I will link to.

awesome!

I know SVG very well, even have used it a few times for automatic generation of various graphics for bioinformatic projects. I use a lot of different graphic editors, and I am very…

Nice to see the actual comparison of the binary size (and there is the 2x and 3x png). On the other hand, to be fair, the memory footprint will be more with the ASCII version (text…

No worry, and no offense taken!

Nice way to think about it. I agree.

Yes, PNG is probably using less memory. For a few small icons, though, it's negligible either way.

Fair enough. I certainly did not mean to pretend anything like this.

Exactly, could not have said it better.

Exactly

I only use it for very simple icons (square, couple of lines, etc)

fixed!

ah, damn, you're right!

You are totally right, and I actually also considered doing just that initially in my code.

When you skip a character, you move on to next shape. So, 1-2-3 5-6-7 = 2 triangles But 1 3 5 = 3 points

TBH, the bug is an example of where this hack should not be used :D

Hi, all. I am the blog post author, blown away by the attention this 1-day hack is getting! I am the author of Findings, a lab notebook app for scientists. Check it out and show it…
