#142What's old is new again. This takes me back thirty-odd years to some ASCII drawing program I used to use in DOS. I can't recall if it was somehow part of WordPerfect or its own thing.
Perhaps it was TheDraw? Which has been reincarnated now as Durdraw: https://durdraw.org/
Thank you so much for this. I was wondering not so long ago what happened to TheDraw.
Re: Monosketch
#143this is super cool as an art form but ASCII art is an accessibility nightmare so please don't use it for docs unless you know what you're doing and have made it accessible in some other way
Is there any way to make images accessible other than the alt tag? I'm sure SVGs are more machine-readable, but how would that help vision-impaired folks?
im not an expert on a11y best practices, but id say an tag with alt text is enough
for inline SVG, i read somewhere you can use and to describe the SVG document, but i don't know how they work in practice

Why have you sent me the licence page for Monosketch? I'm commenting on comment about Monodraw...
Which of these two exchanges makes more sense?

The first interpretation makes no sense to me, because you've agreed completely with the parent comment but worded the comment in a way that sounds like you're disagreeing.
