So I end up having to create a GIF, which defeats the purpose.
Any ideas?
I love this tool! I've used it to do diagrams for Mapless: https://sebastianconcept.github.io/Mapless/guides/2024/01/28... And to document this Pharo VM Plugin builder setup: https://github.com/sebastianconcept/PharoPluginBuilder
So you used an ASCII drawing tool to draw these diagrams in text then took a screenshot of them and uploaded to your website? That seems like such a convoluted way to draw a few rectangles. Isn't there an easier way?
In the Mapless guide, when I've kept it as text (as the first preferred way to have it done) it became challenging to make it work for all screen sizes and an image was the "good enough" approach for the case.
Can somebody help me? I've tried Monodraw a few times, but whenever I attempt to use the ASCII on a website (Wordpress, if that's important) the artwork never appears with the correct spacing. The tabs don't show up, or the alignment is off. So I end up having to create a GIF, which defeats the purpose. Any ideas?

Are you putting the monodraw text output into a code block or using a monospaced font?

Which one is the dumb one? Because that's probably the one I'm doing.
The only other issue I can see is if your diagram is too large it might start wrapping which will break the “image” you are going for.
EDIT: See my sibling comment for examples of how to do this.

Here is how it looks rendered on desktop:

Here is how it looks on mobile (broken):

It will work if I set a `style="width: 1200px;"` on the `
` tag (edit as html):https://cs.joshstrange.com/1zTrXZGM
But then Wordpress is going to complain:

You can always convert the block to HTML so it stop bugging you which will look gross in your editors but work when displayed:

I hope this helps!

I’ve toyed with the idea of open sourcing the product. I reached the conclusion that it’s not the approach for two main reasons: - I believe in a strong, centralised product vision and execution - The code will be packaged up and sold by unscrupulous people who will not contribute back I’m a strong advocate of interoperability and open data formats. The Monodraw data format is not proprietary and I do have plans for…
I understand your concerns about open-sourcing the codebase and won’t try to convince you otherwise. It’s your code. That said, I would like to share my perspective on the subject, having given some thought to if/how I should open source my code. I don’t feel that I have any ground to stand on if I were to choose not to open source my code. That same code would be uploaded to the internet using a web browser or other…
Really wish this was cross platform. Would love to use this in Linux. I appreciate the effort that it takes to deliver a polished application. I just wish more tooling did better to target Linux, Windows and Mac for desktop apps. Probably a larger driver behind web based apps.
what's the native linux alternative? aka not a webapp edit: hm, maybe https://github.com/nkh/P5-App-Asciio
