Generate ASCII Charts on iOS
After having seen some charts made with text, I had the urge to create a chart generator that could run on iOS. After having converted the great asciichart from Python to Swift, I've created a small utility app using SwiftUI & SwiftData. Here is an example of chart generated from the app: 18┼╮ 17┤│ 15┤╰╮ 14┤ │ ╭╮╭╮ 12┤ ╰──╯│││ 10┤ ╰╯╰╮ 8,8┤ │ ╭╮ ╭╴ 7,2┤ │ ╭─╮╭╯╰╮│ 5,6┤ ╰╮╭╯ ││ ││ 4┤ ││ ╰╯ ╰╯ 2,5┼ ╰╯ Would be happy to answer your questions & suggestions!
In plain words
Generate ASCII Charts on iOS is a utility app that creates text-based charts on Apple devices. Built with SwiftUI and SwiftData, it converts data into ASCII art visualizations using lines and box-drawing characters. The app is designed for developers and users who need to generate simple charts in terminal-style format or prefer text-based data visualization. It's based on a Python charting library adapted for Swift.

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.

Hi HN! I’m proud to share that we have built a real 3rd party iMessage client for Android. We did it by reverse engineering the iMessage protocol and encryption system. It's available to download today (no waitlist): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima and there's a technical writeup here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. Unlike every other attempt to build an iMessage app for Android (including our first gen app), Beeper Mini does not use a Mac server relay in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple…

Hey! I made Heynote entirely for my own use case. For many years, I always had an Emacs instance running with the scratch buffer open, even long after I had abandoned Emacs as my programming editor in favor of more recent IDE:s. The simplicity of having just one big scratch buffer appeals to me, but I still want to separate the different things I jot down somehow (without using tabs or similar). Previously, my solution was to insert a bunch of blank lines between the notes, but hitting C-A would still select the entire buffer. That's why I came up with the concept of "blocks", which turned…
