Nice!
Does it support the new 3x2 and 4x2 mosaic characters (and the HP big 3x3 cell letters) from recent Unicode specs?

I love Monodraw, been using it for years. Keep up the good work!
Was going to politely ask for full dark mode but just noticed from your blog that it seems to be on the way?

I'd expect more of an introduction:
> Harness the Power and Simplicity of Plain Text
Nice tagline, but surely it's not just plain text. It's some unicode shenanigans. How does one make sure their console can display all the necessary characters? How does one make sure others can see their creation?

I'm a big fan of Monodraw and use it frequently for ASCII assets / animations for https://oxide.computer . I'd love some scripting features, to create and edit designs through code. But I'm aware my use case is a little niche.
That animated ascii art on your site is really cool, something I will definitely have to keep in mind for documenting some of my projects in future.

Targeting the web will remove your giant advantage: native UI.
Agreed, but between having a web version and having the app stay exclusive to MacOS, I’d prefer the former.
Why? There are already all kinds of web sites that do this kind of thing. Monodraw's unique selling point is that it's a native Mac app that takes advantage of the Mac UI and it's done well so the UX is top notch.
If you don't care about making the best possible app that you can, go ahead and do it in the browser. You will get something that's probably good enough and runs everywhere. But it's going to use more battery, more memory, and more bandwidth and not feel like a Mac app. Plus (IMHO) it's less fun to develop for the browser.

I just wanted to say thanks for making it. I love this app, use it all the time, and the only thing I wish for is a version for Linux.
Bravo.

A lease implies a limited term though, doesn't it? A perpetual, irrevocable, lease could be a thing.
A perpetual, irrevocable "lease" is just be a "sale". You are just selling a copy at that point. Subscription-based/SAAS software is leased. I know it's pedantic, but to me the key thing is that it is the rights themselves that are "licensed." Not specific copies. The license covers what ways you are and are not allowed to make more copies (that aren't just your personal copy). So e.g. Open Source/Free Software/Close…
I'm here for the pedantry! :)
But I don't think the software of a SaaS is leased, sold, or licensed. It's just a service that is available and perhaps promised to stay available for a term. And of course Monodraw is not a SaaS anyway.
Also not a lawyer. I have read more contracts than most healthy adults, but that is just as likely to be distorting as clarifying.

You "little niche" use case inspired me, really beautiful

Just wanted to say: really love the app. Been using it for years. I love the image overlay since I mainly enjoy making ascii renditions of pictures manually by hand.

#170Long time user of Monodraw, such a delightful app. My main use case is to draw view hierarchies, tables and diagrams in source comments.
