    XFCE has been my preferred Unix desktop for like 20 years. Great software. Great mix of flexibility, modularity, ease of use, and good taste. I also thank the devs.

    This looks like an interesting rabbit hole. I have heard of ReGIS graphics but am not familiar with the standard implementations or the VK100 terminal. Is it widely supported? Than…

    I think the limitations of ansi.sys became the standard because it's the implementation that everyone had access to and could reference, not because it is the exact full set-in-sto…

    I'll look into -W and -H. It's probably a bug. Thanks for letting me know. I am not sure what you mean by "doubled the default" exactly.

    Oh, for WSL... You would use something like Windows terminal, and start an Ubuntu (WSL) terminal session from there. It will act similar to a Linux VM terminal, and you can downloa…

    Icy Draw is a very good newschool ANSI editor, too. The developer is very skilled and he put together a great, feature rich tool in a short amount of time. I'd love to steal some o…

    I'm glad you got it working. I'll probably work on a Docker installer in the future. Normally, in Windows, the best way to run it in WSL. There is an issue with windows-curses that…

    It doesn't. Thanks for the great question. However, I made another program a while back that plays GIFs and images in a text terminal similar to what you're describing (see https:/…

    I originally started working on Durdraw because I was trying to animate some ASCII art with Pablodraw and Photoshop, and found it incredibly tedious. I ended up making my own edito…

    Thanks! Yes, animation was one of the earliest features. It uses its own animation engine and file format (which is a gzipped JSON file), which gives the artist fine control over t…

    Thanks for taking a look. There are a few uses for a program like this in 2024. 1: Some people still make ANSI and ASCII art as a means of exploring the medium.. well, artistically…

    Show HN: Durdraw – a modern ANSI art editor for modern Unix terminals

    I've been working on an ANSI art editor off and on for a while. It works like a traditional ANSI text editor, except it supports 256 colors, Unicode and CP437 encoding, frame-based…
