Ascii collab is a lo-fi, art-centric text canvas founded by Martin Stewart in 2020.<ref>https://discourse.elm-lang.org/t/ascii-collab-draw-ascii-art-together-on-an-infinite-canvas/6273</ref> The site's purpose, as its name suggests, is for users to collaborate on making original ASCII art; copy-pasted content is strongly disincentivized. | |||
The site has a very ingenious way of preventing spam. Users can click on a button to highlight each user's edits in different colors, and if they click on a patch of text then all edits by that user is instantly hidden, but only on their end. Similarly, the site owner can use this feature to revert text for everybody. | |||
Though Ascii Collab is mostly obscure, Martin Stewart has implemented various measures to encourage collaboration among its meager userbase. First off, users can choose to have the site notify them on email whenever a new edit is made. A [https://meetdown.app/group/10560/Ascii-Art-Appreciation-Association meet up service] was also created to facilitate ASCII art sessions, and several events were held throughout 2021. | |||
The area around the center of Ascii Collab is surrounded by a large rectangular border. On February 2nd, 2021, all art within this region was stitched into a massive poster, which can be seen below. <gallery mode="packed" heights="180"> | |||
