Live Demo

I was hoping to get some extra eyes and ears on the byproduct of my latest ASCII based endeavors, an audio reactive, XYZ axis based multidirectional matrix rain HTML.

I have a lot of spare time on my hands....

any feedback would be helpful, always looking for new or creative upgrade or optimizations opportunities, or just anything fun that could be visually appealing, like i was thinking of making a mouse pointer tracker in the system, so the rain drops are always converging on the mouse pointer where ever it is on the desktop.

Thanks for checking it out!

thanks for checking it out! This video was rendered using some AI slop (a program) I whipped up!

Been working on this thing as interest dictates, recently decided to add the speech to text system and it's turned out pretty decent. Thanks for checking it out!!

Using AI to code, I pieced together a streaming tool. it doubles as a media conversion tool for images and video into ASCII render.

The APK package linked below has an HTML page included and both can be used locally.

The APK is for Android but HTML works via web browser. It is hosted on itch.io and is priced at 5$ a download, but that's just if you want to keep it locally off grid or whatever. That link is here:

I also have a FREE live demo on hugging face you can find it here and use it immediately for FREE all day!!

Screww Jerry mcguire dude. Help me help me!!

Ruh roh raggy!...

This is the latina fireball jellybean brains from tiktok!

There I was, sleepy as shit and ready to throw in the towel, when I noticed I had extra Anthropic API credits. The devil is in the details, so I swallowed them whole.

Instead of doing the responsible thing and sleeping, I pardoned myself from rest and proceeded to stay awake, prompting Claude like a delusional emperor directing a bureaucratic workforce. *"Do this. Do that. Do the other thing."* And the AI complied. Is it a he? Is it a she? I don’t know. I’m confused most of the time, but the code compiled, so the existential crisis can wait.

The result of this 48-hour metaphysical troll-mode degen grindfest? A text-based rendering engine that processes video into high-fidelity character matrices.

To show it off, I fed it a video of a dog. Look at this shit.

The absolute best part? It’s not just static files. I can stream and render adjacent live browser tabs in real-time. Any video, any tab, any chaotic data feed on the web—completely converted into ASCII on the fly.

Arguably my favorite mistake yet. Magic 8-check, you may now rest.

Now it's just pure vibe and the video doing the heavy lifting. Ready to drop it?
