| greggman65 4 months ago | next [–] I'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 ASCIILike 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

| schappim 4 months ago | parent | next [–] This is better than what I've thrown together, 100% recommend, would have used it if I'd known about it!

| prabal97 4 months ago | prev [–] Wow! 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 4 months ago | parent [–] 1. It just removes the char2. CC + minor tweaks by hand.3. Yup, go nuts, view source and pull it apart.
