I am trying it for the first time. One point of feedback, with the caveat that my only experience so far is opening the tutorial:
I immediately hate that when intending to scroll vertically using the trackpad on my macbook, it constantly unintentionally scrolls horizontally as well and I have to correct it. It is particularly irritating since there is no content on the canvas to see when scrolling.
Maybe I'm just super accustomed to browser scrolling behaviors, which snap scrolling based on initial direction.
I'm mostly posting this because its the kind of papercut that might be forgotten over time.

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.
Nice! I was wondering if it would be good for making ascii art assets for roguelike games (for example: https://www.gridsagegames.com/blog/2014/12/cogmind-ascii-art... or https://www.markrjohnsongames.com/games/ultima-ratio-regum/) - some of the art you've made for oxide thinks it must be good for that!

I guess we might be describing the same thing, and I am yet to have time to download and play with Monodraw (IT policies), but if there is indeed a way that surfaces could be replaced at a pixel level, so that for example the 'A' character becomes a Pacman, then we'd be aligned. The only issue is, are these surfaces 8x8 or similar, and would it be possible to load in a 6x8 bitmap, for those unusual 8-bit computers of…
I wonder if REXPaint might be more what you are looking for, though it could stumble upon the OS requirements. It needs Wine to run under OSX.
Not parent commenter, but I've been using rexpaint for a while but the editor is clunky and format too limited, I've been looking at other options - At a quick look monodraw does look interesting as a more fully featured replacement.

Any plans for a Linux version? Sounds super cool, but I can't run it.

Thanks for Monodraw. I've used it for years and thoroughly enjoy it.

I believe role=“img” tells it to behave like one, causing the descriptive text to be read out in its place.
Yeah, that seems bad. The whole point of the diagram was to explain something better than prose could, and now it is lost. I'm thinking the case were someone can make out the shapes/arrows/colors well, but not the text.
In my case, that's not why I'm using the diagram. It's simply a visual thing, to break up a page of text. Purely aesthetic.

#179Great idea, but sadly only for macOS :-(

I don't use the app often, but I felt comfortable purchasing because it wasn't a subscription. The few times I do want ASCII art, it does the job perfectly, so it works super well to have in my back pocket. Thanks for not going the subscription route.
Same here. And the app itself is just so charming. :)
