Inspiration

A team member has used ascii art in past projects and thought that this would be cool.

What it does

Allows users to paste/draw ascii art and colorize it with a theme or custom color scheme.

How we built it

Using Lit Element and web components. JavaScript, CSS, and HTML.

Challenges we ran into

Overriding certain styles in a web component can be difficult. At one point we ended up extending a textarea component so that we could more cleanly style things within it's shadow root.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Getting it to work "mostly" in such a short time!

What we learned

There is a lot of cool utility that the contemporary web environment offers.

What's next for asciibeautify

Possibly will be making the components better and more useful in an isolated capacity so we can publish them as packages on npm.
