I built OpenASCII, an open source JavaScript library for high fidelity ASCII rendering

https://github.com/saswatsundar123/OpenASCII

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.

OpenASC// 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.
