Your web site as an ASCII art (opens in new tab)

I was hoping it would pipe screenshots (e.g. snap.com's snapshots) through aalib and/or an OCR engine (e.g. http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/).

Was hoping it would also convert the images...nope.

There's an SDL extension which does ASCII art graphics drivers...

It's a disappointment!

I wanted to see my design converted into ASCII not my text...

I made this simple Perl CGI several years ago for generating ASCII art websites: http://tastytronic.net/asciiweb/

There are links on that site that direct to other sites using the same engine.

it would be cooler if it didn't discard my stylesheet

lynx -dump http://www.google.com | figlet

Cool. Why?
