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.

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.

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