It appears a little buggy handling fixed width improperly, noticeably when using a mouse to write out a word, with uneven drawing, the fixed width spacing does not consistently properly match the cursor movement for some lines.

Could you please share the brush that you used?
Some characters squize/expand line because of the font. E.g. emojis.
Thank you giving it a try and for the feedback!

You can actually see this bug with the default brush (Firefox 143.0.4 Windows)
It could work on mobile if you work a little bit on it. Right now touch is dragging the screen

Oh, yes, forgot about it. On tablet it could be pretty convenient to use, if it works. Thank you!

On my iPad, the vertical movements seem to trigger the page scroll

I've pushed a simple fix.
It allows to draw on touch devices (with interesting effects with multi-touch). But one can stuck at the center of the canvas. If it happens — tap the header of the browser to scroll back to top.
Would much prefer it to start with just printable ASCII characters in the brush (32--126) from which the output would work in more places and would be in better alignment with the name.
Having said that, yes, fun and interesting, thank you...

Thank you for trying it and for the feedback! Glad you liked it!
> start with just printable ASCII characters in the brush
Yes. I started like this. But then set these fancy characters by default to show the capabilities, because those who are familiar with the concept know the possibilities, but those who don't know could think that it's limited and not notice wide limits.

Nice job. There's also a good open-source ASCII paint tool which supports export to TXT/ or PNG that I've been using for the past few years as well.
Very interesting one! So many cool things have been made in this field! However I think it's not relevant for the board. It's not open-sourced (at least yet).
Anyway thank you for checking it out and suggestion!

Doesn't seem to work on Firefox mobile. On each stroke it only renders one "point".
delopsu 125 days ago [-]
Hm. What OS do you use? It works fine (for me) in Firefox on iOS. Haven't tested on Android.

For me, Firefox on Android, I get this:
One stroke draws one spot at the starting point. Any number of further strokes draw nothing. When I tap outside the canvas I can draw one more point
delopsu 125 days ago [-]
Could you please try it now? Pushed a fix, but have no Android to test it.

Still only one point

Could you please try it again?
Thinking about more elegant solution.
Having said that, yes, fun and interesting, thank you...

For those who like those types of tools, but for diagrams, there's asciiflow.com.
Good job!
And it feels like ASCII art is going through a renaissance. Maybe I'm biased and watched it a lot recently.
Let me also share a few cool ASCII tools I came across while working on this one:
- animation studio: https://ascii-motion.app/
- image to ASCII converter: https://www.tooooools.app/effects/ascii
Very nice. Congrats to the coding agent which made this. Needs an undo button though!
> Love to hear that — thank you for sharing!
Not sure about Undo — part of me wants to keep it hardcore. Like with real ink.
Thank you for checking it out!
Thank you for checking it out and for the feedback!
I used asterisk after "difficult task" and in the footer — all between became italic. And also brush was cleaned out.
Anyway thank you for checking it out and suggestion!
