- prabal97 9mo agoWow! That was cool to play with. 1. How does one erase the drawings made with the pencil tool? 2. How'd you make this? Is this FOSS?
- schappim 9mo ago1. It just removes the char 2. CC + minor tweaks by hand. 3. Yup, go nuts, view source and pull it apart.
- dandersch 9mo agoClaude code seems to have gotten the backslashes in your circles mixed up. They look more round when \ is / and vice versa.
- ynac 9mo agoVery Monodraw-like, but web-based. Same UI makes it an easy road replacement. I'll put it on my start page for when I'm not on my own machine.
- schappim 9mo ago100% inspired by Monodraw.
- ChrisArchitect 9mo agoSimilar-ish: Show HN: ASCII based Figma like editor https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46594292 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46594292 Both strong efforts.
- schappim 9mo agoThis is better than what I've thrown together, 100% recommend, would have used it if I'd known about it!
- greggman65 9mo agoI've never made one of these so I have no idea what all the issues are but I feel like I want it to act like presentation software. I want to be able to connect boxes with lines/arrows, then drag the boxes and have the lines stay connected to the boxes. I probably also want group things like I can in most structured drawing programs. Maybe that doesn't work well with ASCII Like a simple example, I expect if have a object selected and press Cmd/Ctrl-C, Cmd/Ctrl-V I get a duplicate. These interactions seem like basic table stakes
