I maintain a list [1] of main web based text to diagram tools including ascii drawing tools like these. Web alternatives for this are probably https://fsymbols.com/draw/ or https://textik.com/ or https://asciiflow.com/#/ or https://web.archive.org/web/20210503172024/https://fatiherik... or https://app.monosketch.io

Pikchar is another to consider for your list. From the creator of SQLite…

I was introduced to this recently, still digesting it, looks amazing. And no Mac only, and free to boot. Win, win.

It's the second item on the list already.

Yes but you only listed it once!

Thanks for this list. I find all of them are missing features that I would want for diagrams I hand made recently. Of the ones on this list only one seems to handle diagonals ( https://textik.com/ ) and that doesn't have a fill function AFAIK

The diagram I wanted to draw would be something like this https://pastebin.com/NPXFS1Fi

I created the box and triangle in textik.com but I had to manually edit a bunch of corners and manually fill it in.

I'm not sure I'd pay for Monodraw. Even though it's only $10 is a native app and Mac only. I do so much on the web and use so many machines and draw diagrams only a few times a year that I think I'd prefer something web based or a VSCode plugin.

Have you also checked out some of the lists on https://fmhy.net? Some there might be of interest.

Years ago I made a simple one that I still host at https://letterbrush.com

I've had this list bookmarked for years. Thanks for this!
