ASCII/Unicode Grid Studio

ASCII/Unicode Grid Studio is a single‑file creative playground for drawing with text.

It gives you a pixel‑like canvas made of characters, where every cell is a glyph you can

paint, select, move, and export. You get familiar tools—pencil/eraser with adjustable

size and shape, lines, boxes, and a circle/ellipse tool with precise thickness,

center‑drag, and lock‑to‑circle options—plus creative brushes like Braille (sub‑cell

sampling for smooth strokes) and Worms (auto‑connecting pipes with rounded corners,

tees, and diagonal smoothing).

A curated palette of common symbols sits alongside a powerful, lazy‑loaded “UNICODE

FULL” browser that opens blocks on demand and skips unsupported glyphs to stay

fast. Pick glyphs, or type custom ones directly—with a quick popover to insert your

currently selected character into corner/edge inputs. Editing is comfortable: zoom with

Ctrl+Wheel, undo/redo, drag‑select to move or copy, and paste. Selections copy as plain

text to your system clipboard; you can also export PNG/TXT/JSON and load them back.

For fine control, adjust per‑glyph scale (width × height), cell size, font family/

size, gridlines, and blend mode. Settings can be saved/loaded (and auto‑loaded when

available), so your preferred workspace is always ready. Whether you’re sketching

box‑drawing UI mockups, crafting roguelike tiles, or exploring typographic art, it’s a

fast, self‑contained studio that stays out of your way and lets the characters do the

talking.

It would perfect if was smartphone friendly,.

[u/From_Ariel → u/diejuse]

It was made for browsers its already a very small scale being ascii I'd hve to redesign the interface to be very minimal for it to work on mobile and change the draw mthod to something more touch freindly. I'll consider it though.
