Show HN: I made a collaborative ASCII editor I made a website for drawing ascii art with other people https://ift.tt/3dST9VF It's been online for a little over a year so there's a fair bit of stuff to browse if you want to look around (so much that I even made a poster https://ift.tt/3ysYsEs) There are other websites like yourworldoftext that do this but ascii-collab has some extra features like per-user undo/redo, box selection, a color highlight mode to see who made particular changes, and there's admin tools so I can remove spam. The code is open sourced here https://ift.tt/3dRw1a1 if anyone is interested. Enjoy! December 16, 2021 at 05:00AM
Show HN: StreetComplete, an OpenStreetMap Editor for Humans StreetComplete is an OpenStreetMap[0] editor directed at people who want to contribute and want to do this using their smartphone, without learning how to edit things[1].
