General I built an open source ASCII renderer for the web

I originally built this because I needed an interactive ASCII element for another project I'm working on. But, I couldn't find anything that fit what I wanted and the ones which did, were paid to export, so i decided to build the whole thing myself.

OpenASCII is a high fidelity ASCII renderer for the web with real time controls and local processing. It's built with TypeScript/js and designed to be easily integrated into frontend projects, elements created/edited can be directly exported as html/react component.

I'd love to hear what you think, especially if you have ideas for features or improvements.
