About

ASCIIFlow is a free and open-source web-based tool for drawing ASCII flow diagrams, enabling users to create boxes, lines, and arrows, and export them directly to text or HTML. Developed by Lewish, the author, who announced a significant re-write in 2014 to transition from GWT to canvas and JavaScript, introduce resizing tools, an infinite canvas, and mobile support, it operates as an online platform. Its product portfolio includes core features like ASCII Art, Flow Chart creation, and an ASCII Editor, with community engagement encouraged through feature suggestions and voting. While it offers text/HTML export, a user review highlighted the absence of PGN export, suggesting the use of external converters. As a free, open-source project, it does not generate traditional revenue and is likely maintained by a small team or individual, with its development tracked on GitHub and community updates shared on Twitter.
