Today I vibe-coded a functional ASCII keyboard using Opus 4.5 and Swift. It lets you type normally and outputs FIGlet-style ASCII art. Toggle it on, type your message, press Enter and the ASCII art gets typed out wherever your cursor is. Not essentially useful, but still fun :~)

Features: - 20 FIGlet fonts (Standard, Banner, Doom, Star Wars, etc.) - Live preview as you type - Works in any app (Slack, Discord, Terminal, etc.) - Pure Swift

Cost: 92,118,535 Opus 4.5 tokens Time consumed: 30 minutes including domain setup and registration
