ASCIIFlow
Draw character-based diagrams in the browser and preview them as text.
What it is
ASCIIFlow is an online drawing tool that builds diagrams from characters. Its canvas offers boxes, lines, arrows, and text, with an export menu for previewing the text output.
Why it is selected
A small diagram does not always need a separate image file. Character-based drawings fit into README code blocks or plain-text notes, keeping the diagram and its explanation in one document.
Who it suits
Developers writing technical documentation and people sketching simple processes.
Useful for
- Drawing box diagrams for documentation
- Adding simple structures to plain-text notes
Usage note
Use a monospaced font and preserve spaces and line breaks to keep the layout aligned. Export offers character-set options; check the result if your destination does not support extended characters.
