hell yaa! post more of my internet rap videos please.


yes...and where exactly is the code with demos? where is the support? where is the server-side node.js implementation?

http://github.com/marak/asciimo


Hmm, fine point, so for the lazy and old ones that one has served the purpose for a long time.

For the curious and for the freedom - asciimo


:-)

i really have to apologize for the hosting. i'm using some experimental hosting software instead of a battle hardened solution. if anyone is having issues with the site you can clone your own repo and just open the index.html in your browser locally without installing anything.

site will become more stable over then next few weeks.


I'm actually using .flf (FIGlet) files as fonts http://github.com/Marak/asciimo/tree/master/fonts/.

You are very right in your comment. I have ascii coding laying around right now in JavaScript that can take any image and convert it into ascii, but making it work server-side is going to be hard.

If you think you can help with any of this drop me a message on the github.

Why do you want to code it yourself? There's the all-time favourite AAlib (http://aa-project.sourceforge.net/aalib/). [1]

However, automatically generated ASCII images aren't really art, either. It's just the generators themselves which can be called art. ASCII art almost always requires some tough hand work to become really good. For example, have a look at the Star Wars Asciimation (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1446358).

[1] The great BB demo (http://aa-project.sourceforge.net/bb/) has been created using the AAlib.


Ah the great bb demo, it comes along Knoppix, thats where I saw it first :)


It's available on all Debian-based distributions, and maybe other distributions, too.


hee hee, i was a bit hesitant to post the live site on HN.

lets hope the hosting holds up! ^_^


i created a simple and stupid project to sort repos through brute force instead of using the github.com website.

you can clone that project listed and sort your repos.


I'm glad there is finally a decent article on how to use / debug jquery and firebug. I've been waiting for one of these for years now. /sarcasm_off


i liked it better when it was called "github"


I can't seem to find anything about a databinding engine in Javascript MVC.

Is there one? Does it have any MVVM support?


there is a dearth of quality programmers in nyc who would help im sure


Do you mean a glut, or do you really think there are no good programmers in NYC?


The "who would help" part is relevant here.


I'd like to see better test data for sure. It's pretty easy to add more custom definitions in the definitons.js file.


also, it should be noted that online demo creates a contact card that uses every single API call. normally you wouldn't generate a UK address + a US zipcode in one contact
