What tools can we actually use to draw ASCII manually if desired? None are mentioned. E.g I made https://cascii.app for exactly this purpose.

I have thought about this a lot. I was going to do some stuff with gzip, but fundementally, I came to the conclusion that the most elegant solution (no hidden chars / extra encoded…

Bit of a nightmare getting this elegant enough on a phone, and doubt anyone wants to draw ASCII digrams on their phone anyway, so not really a priority!

It really depends how much demand there is. It's a great next step but a lot of work - I was thinking about training a neural net to parse images / 3rd party diagrams into Cascii, …

A co-worker recently showed me this. It seems really good. If they did ASCII diagrams I'd probably have never made this project!

Show HN: Cascii – A portable ASCII diagram builder written in vanilla JavaScript
3 months ago I wanted to draw an ASCII diagram to include in some documentation at work. I found the few tools online to be insufficient, and was suprised there wasn't a more compl…
