I'm absolutely fascinated by this tool that lets you build wireframes using text elements, ASCII art style.
I've seen wireframes in excel, powerpoint, on paper, but this is a first. Still, it's actually quite efficient and exportable. Love it!

@stephaniewalter oh nice, prototyping for TUIs. They are getting popular again..

@leonid they are? I've seen a couple on very old cashier tools. But even those eventually get replaced by more modern touch screens

@stephaniewalter somehow the whole AI hype also ignited the usage of TUIs.

@stephaniewalter That’s fun. I have used Monodraw in the past for simple diagrams. These days I usually prefer Mermaid diagrams, but the ASCII style is so nice!
