Great project! I always wanted to write something like this for ASCII art (handwritten, not autogenerated). But I always ended up using a plain text editor for this (http://asciimation.de/).

11y agoHN ↗

Very nice. However Google Drive connection doesn't work for me - when I press the button nothing happns. (Win7, Chrome).

11y agoHN ↗

Very nice.

One tiny thing: I was unable to draw a (totally horizontal) arrow connecting one box to another box to the right. The arrow head merged with the left border of the target box, becoming a "+" instead of a ">".

Same in Emacs:

M-x artist-mode

Shift-MouseButton2, select Drawing → Rectangle

Cool!

Remember TheDraw? (And the many other more advanced DOS ansi editors that followed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheDraw

I wonder if anyone has taken the next step and done a more modern full ansi graphics editor. Sure, they're not as practical these days as ASCIIFlow, which has real uses, but it would be fun!
