announce that we now have an ansilove extension for firefox written by andrew herbert which leverages ansilove js and allows to view text mode art directly in firefox it is available on the official firefox add ons site and the source code is published on github this is especially handy for viewing text files online on bbs or ms dos programs archives there is a video showing example usage here once again thanks to andy for making this happen happy new year 2014 a bit in advance november 24th 2013 ansilove has been ported to javascript by andrew herbert check out the ansilove js project page on github ansilove js allows rendering ansi art and all the artscene formats supported by ansilove directly in the browser on top of that it also supports ansi animations rendering something i always wanted to add in the php version but could never achieve due to the fact the gd library for php do not support outputting animated gif files you can try it online by yourself there is an online converter available and a demo gallery showing the animation capabilities this is definitely a fantastic release and i would like to personally thank andy for this porting effort july 17th 2013 today marks 10 years since i started working on ansilove for the record it was originally started to convert my ascii and ansi artworks to png images in order to create the gallery on my artscene and demoscene site which went live in september 2003 it later evolved to be the general purpose converter and library combo it is nowadays and the first open source release happened in early 2006 ten years and eleven releases later i m still maintaining this codebase and will definitely keep committed to this project if you want to keep up to date regarding ansilove development please star the repository on github lastly i would like to take the opportunity to thank all the artists past present and future who submitted artwork for ansilove and helped making the releases so colorful happy
