On my MacBook Air 2017, it chokes when loading a 1280x800 JPG (around 192 KB). At least so far works OK when creating new images.
Performance should improve soon.

#12My first thought with Textual and most TUIs is always, "but why?" But then I actually look at what they are building, and I realize, "Oh, because it's really cool!"
Yes this is downright great. Kudos to the author what a fun throwback/revitalization

#13Reminds me of REXPaint, which is a pretty cool project. https://www.gridsagegames.com/rexpaint/index.html

Very early in my career I wrote a ton of code in Clipper (a dBase clone and compiler).
In some ways I kinda miss doing @SAY, @GET, the TBrowse class etc and their TUI.

I spent most of the 90s writing Clipper code, used to hang out in comp.lang.clipper lots too. Do still sort of miss it.
https://harbour.github.io/ does exist, although it’s a long while since I last played with that.

#16I would love to see something like Monodraw, that could generate centered text boxes and simple diagrams for use in READMEs. Monodraw is great, but I don’t think it’s in development anymore.

#17Fantastic project! Would have loved this on DOS back in the days.

#18I expect, at the minimum: - a rust port - an emacs port :-)
Well, Emacs has had a poor man's "Paint" for over two decades:

For me it brings memory of DOS applications TheDraw and ACiD Draw from the 90's BBS era. Magical times.

Oh man, I've long had the idea for a plain text diagram creator, great to see that someone has gone there before.
