I realize that the lines of text in a normal file have gaps between then, which almost instantly renders this impossible, but I’ll ask anyway. I’m looking for a way to get diagrams like ASCIIFlow in my notes. I’d even settle for a dedicated tab/filetype similar to canvas. My use case here is input with a stylus on a tablet and the original site struggles. Just doing weird things with highlighting random text, because the whole page is text. Canvas kind of does what I want, but there is a speed and elegance to ACSII flow, with the added ability to copy the result as text. I often use Obsidian to write documentation, and various system diagrams often come up. Being able to use characters rather than an image would be great.
In case the “” in the title aren’t clear, I cannot actually offer any financial compensation for this, should a plugin actually be made.
I have looked at the Excalidraw plugin. It's okay, and I see use in some areas, but it almost has too many features. One of the beauties of ASCiiFlow is what you can do with the constraint of text characters
