What tools can we actually use to draw ASCII manually if desired? None are mentioned. E.g I made https://cascii.app for exactly this purpose.

Version 1.0.1 now has offline base64 import / export so you can permanently save drawings offline.

I have thought about this a lot. I was going to do some stuff with gzip, but fundementally, I came to the conclusion that the most elegant solution (no hidden chars / extra encoded data coupled with export) might actually be training a

Bit of a nightmare getting this elegant enough on a phone, and doubt anyone wants to draw ASCII digrams on their phone anyway, so not really a priority!

It really depends how much demand there is. It's a great next step but a lot of work - I was thinking about training a neural net to parse images / 3rd party diagrams into Cascii, but right now I need a break from my screen for a

Yeah I'd like to talk about going back to basics with single-HTML / vanilla JS. It was a great experience, though admittedly controversial and I was expecting more people to be anti it.

Please see https://cascii.app where short links are coupled with your exports

Nice! Yea it should be easy to use the internal layerManager.import and .encodeAll This might break state for the online version, but I can do some tweaks and get it merged if you open the PR. to be clear, the short url feature is useful in

I know it's controversial to do things this way, but given it's a personal project and focuses on portability, I think the benefits are worth while. I have taken care to break things up, comment, etc - if you start at main(), you

Thank you!

Glad you asked. Have you checked the online version https://cascii.app There, all exported drawings come with a short link. This is so that months later anyone reading / seeing can edit their own copy online / keep it

Fixed. Thanks for raising :)

A co-worker recently showed me this. It seems really good. If they did ASCII diagrams I'd probably have never made this project!

by ftr1200 2y ago
Really glad to hear it. Enjoy!

by ftr1200 2y ago
Thank you! I’m hoping the short link feature makes it useful over time / maintainable which would otherwise be tricky for when code changes.

Interesting. I haven't come across this one before. I always found auto-rendering ones to be annoyingly less predictable. Thanks for sharing.

This is fantastic. Good job. Makes you realise how much clutter is out there (SaaS nonsense, ads, paywalls, bullshit). Loading the landing page was a breathe of fresh air. Thank you.

ha, well, nothing to hide to that extent. I don't know about Keep, but it's another app, which is kind of my point - I already use Gmail.

I use my Gmail drafts as permanent, in-sync notes (with subject as the title of each note) Why? - No extra app needed - Keeps them quite hidden / private / secure - Always easy access (I always have emails open) - In sync with dif
