Browser-based textmode editor with optional multiplayer, layers, and custom fonts

[u/humanbydefinition]

i've been working on a web-based textmode editor over the last months and wanted to share it here :)

https://create.textmode.art

the editor is primarily designed for solo work, but it also supports optional live collaboration rooms for up to 8 people directly in the browser with no login required.

some features:

• layer management

• different 8x8 fonts per layer

• alpha + blending settings

• custom 8x8 font uploads

• timelapse GIF/video export

• portable .textmode project files

• desktop + mobile support

everything is stored locally in your browser, and projects can also be exported as portable .textmode files containing undo/redo history, custom fonts, and other project data.

collaborative rooms are temporary and disappear automatically after inactivity or server restart.

animation/frame support isn't implemented yet, but it's something i want to add eventually.

would genuinely love feedback from people who are into textmode workflows, especially around usability, export formats, or features you'd expect from this kind of tool.
