ASCII-themes, a Node.js CLI interface to generate themed ASCII art

What it does

I've built a Node.js CLI interface this weekend to generate themed ASCII art. It supports 287 fonts from Figlet and 18 themes from VS Code . This all started because of a tweet Wassim did , and I tried to replicate that. I've managed to do a passable version using online tools but it was a manual process. So I tried recreating it in Node.js using Figlet, and the Monokai Dimmed theme from VS Code. I should have stopped here , it was good enough. But I went too deep down the rabbit hole, so I built a customizable CLI with more than 5000 options to generate ASCII art in the terminal. Enjoy! And do comment below with whatever cool thing you end up generating with it. Will allow you to select…from dev.to

  Cascii – A portable ASCII diagram builder written in vanilla JavaScript2025 · github.com · ▲238

  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:&#x2F;&#x2F;cascii.app, report problems, make diagrams to improve your code's documentation. Hope you enjoy using it.

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
