Show HN: Cascii - A portable ASCII diagram builder written in
vanilla JavaScript
3 months ago I wanted to draw an ASCII diagram to include in some
documentation at work. I found the few tools online to be
insufficient, and was suprised there wasn't a more complete tool to
get the job done. Since, I've built Cascii from scratch in vanilla
Javascript (I'm not an FE dev, it might be obvious...). I hope it
works alright. Please check out the live version at
https://cascii.app, report problems, make diagrams to improve your
code's documentation. Hope you enjoy using it.
