utternerd: Unless someone forks this project, this is the final version. The author is serving a life sentence, so I cannot imagine he will update this ever again.

themafia: The purest form of nostalgia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheDraw

reconnecting: Hope it's not related to ASCII.

phlipski: Brings back lots of good memories of my middle-school and high-school BBS DaYZ!

roskoalexey: What happened? I can't find any info

packetlost: What's the context here?

kaddar: I recently made an ASCII art web app:https://textmode.cadencecode.com/... I occasionally make dos games as a hobby, and I wanted to be able to draw some ASCII on my iPad. Kinda a niche thing but open to feedback if anyone tries it.

Fnoord: Back when I still made ANSI art, a couple of UNIX Ansi art editors were around, but I used ACiDDraw [1] in (probably, don't remember) Dosbox.Kind of like I used hkSFV for a long, long time. No GUI utility came close, feature-wise. Although if you consider CLI, you can do scripting after download.[1] https://archive.org/details/aciddraw

utternerd: If I link to any articles about it, I dox him unfortunately and I'd prefer not to. I was friends with cmang from our pre-teen days, and we were both heavily involved in the ansi/ascii scene. I'm sure there's still some here who remember him from efnet, or other places.

john_strinlai: >If I link to any articles about it, I dox him unfortunately and I'd prefer not to.thats admirable, and i am certainly not telling you to do otherwise.but i will point out that they have written out their full name and state on their github, patreon, and buymeacoffee.

Fnoord: [delayed]
