Love this.. I was an ANSI Artist back in the day.. Was in <ACiD>, I knew it was a matter of time before AI would make Ansi's out of Photos.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I didn't notice that but you're correct, and that does change the calculus. In that case: https://www.mctxsheriff.org/news_detail_T6_R1333.php

If a programmer ends up in jail, it is kind of important to know why, so we can assess if we want to run/use their software. So without writing the details I found out, the alleged crime (if it is the same person) is a crime we as society disagree with, very much. But it isn't related to cybercrime in a sense where it can hurt this software project directly.

I recently made an ASCII art web app:

... 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.

Actually, very cool editor. Perhaps only eraser is missing?
