Animated ASCII art components

Build embeddable animated ASCII widgets for developer blogs and documentation. Offer easy integration with major frameworks.

Why now

Retro-styled interfaces are gaining popularity, but creating animated ASCII art requires niche skills most developers lack.

A weekend

Technical writers and developers want to add nostalgic ASCII flair to docs and blogs, but hand-coding animations is time-consuming.

Create a library of premade animated ASCII components like loaders, dividers, and illustrations that work across frameworks.

Individual developers would pay for unique visual elements that make their content stand out.

Launch with 5-10 basic animations and clear copy-paste installation for React/Next.js.

The risk is the trend being too niche for sustainable demand.
