    Thats awesome. I did something similar (much smaller scale) for Claude Code/Pi to show how much it's working https://github.com/robdmac/flow

    But this ASCII Art reminds me of my original desire to have something for each server I SSH into to help me keep a mental map of where I am. I'm not SSH'ing into servers anymore but if I was, I'd totally be trying to remake these scenes on the terminal!

    Neat. Some of my earliest online contributions were to local dial-up BBSs. I spent entire days making animated ascii sequences in the theme of the board.

    beautiful. i don't see the pieces as animated, however. perhaps I am missing something?

      Click on one to go to a page and see only that animation. The framerate is super low on my phone on the front page.

      > plays it while it is on screen, and holds the first frame for anyone who prefers reduced motion.
