i think the reason i'm vibing so much with the BBS is the complete lack of distinction between text and drawing. like, yeah, i can make a colorful html post, and i can use
░░░░▒▒▒▒▓▓▓▓██ block elements ███▓▓▓▓▒▒▒▒░░░░
and whatever, but it is way more clunky. i have to copy paste the special characters from offsite (or make an ahk script like with my Δ key) but then i have to wrap all colors in a span... and, sure, i can go into another program, draw something, export it, and attach it inline...
but i can't easily and trivially do this type of nonsense. and it is so much fun. i want a chat app where text and drawings are interchangeable. give me a canvas on cohost or discord
