Show HN: Web-based ANSI art viewer

My love letter to ANSI art. Full width rendering, scrolling by baud rate, text is selectable, and more.

There are some example links at the top if you're feeling lucky.

Creator here - this was much more technically difficult than it seems, because rendering pixel perfect backgrounds with scaling width is non-obvious. Hit 'Esc' and you can set some options, including changing the background pattern.

If you want to see a big file, I have a direct link to load the Blocktronics WTF4 ANSI which is over 4000 lines: https://sure.is/ansi/?wtf4=1

Wow nice. Is there a fastscroll in mobile?

This is very cool! And I say that as someone who was in iCE in the early 1990s ;)

The baud scrolling and SAUCE support are nicely done, and "drag a zip here" is top-tier magic, though when I tried dragging in an old iCE pack's zip file, it only showed one ANSI inside there; I was expecting a file picker.

Feature suggestions: "Show invisible text" toggle and an option to switch between 16-color background mode and 8-color background mode with blink support. You're already parsing the SAUCE which has an "iCE colors" boolean; you can use this to control the default for the latter setting.
