Reminds me that I made a rainbow unicorn that jumped across your screen as a cmdline utility to be run after all tests passed. Coworkers got a good laugh if nothing else. Fun times.

Nice. I'm reminded of the IntelliJ extension that replaces progress bars with the Nyan Cat.

Wow! Surprised to see this on the front page.

I built this about 8 years ago on a whim, and it blew up. Only recently did I learn there was a memory leak, after getting a big traffic spike that caused an OOM.

Over the years it’s burned through several TB of bandwidth per month.

I built ascii.live to support different animations for fun, although I don’t have as much time to review PRs as I’d like.

Ooh, I had a coworker who had one with zoidberg dancing once, though it seems to be dead now so maybe he didn't renew the domain. He probably used ascii.live!
