In plain words
Web-based ANSI art viewer is a tool for viewing ANSI art online with full-width rendering and authentic presentation.

The viewer includes example links to help users discover ANSI art pieces. It's designed for anyone interested in retro computing aesthetics and classic bulletin board system culture.

It's written in Python and curses, and is fairly portable across Unix systems. If you have ever used TheDraw or Aciddraw, the user interface is similar.
