A few months ago, I decided to turn my GitHub profile into an ASCII animation. I initially thought it would be simple, but after searching for quite a while without finding a suitable script or website, I ended up hand-rolling a not-particularly-general-purpose script myself. After a lot of tweaking, I finally got a result I was happy with.

Recently, I thought: why not turn this into a web page? With a visual interface, it would be much more convenient than the slow, manual adjustments from before. And so the 2ascii repo was born.

It’s just a set of static pages, so you can access it anywhere. But for convenience, I’m hosting a page here.

I’m not really familiar with JS, but LLM agents filled the gap nicely. For a small side project like this, LLMs are more than enough.
