An editor for plain text where you can also seamlessly insert line drawings: http://akkartik.name/lines.html

Hmm, one consequence: line width matters. Right now you can vary the page width and the drawing scales to always occupy that page width. But using characters for drawings as well will change how resize behaves. · 3 weeks ago
@akkartik Anything would work, as long as it's Unicode - all clients handle UTF-8 and 99.9% of user should have enough fonts to cover line/shape glyphs :) · 3 weeks ago
@dimkr Thanks, that's an interesting idea.
I just checked, and LÖVE's default ttf font doesn't seem to render Unicode box drawing characters. Let me dig some more.
I think this will constrain what can be drawn. Just horizontal and vertical lines? No circles, triangles, arbitrary polygons, etc. Does that seem ok to you? · 3 weeks ago
Was about to post this here after seeing the HN post ... a "low-res" implementation that uses box drawing characters would be super cool :) · 1 month ago
