I build and maintain open-source tools for creative coding, focused on textmode / ASCII graphics and real-time visual systems on the web.

My main project, textmode.js, is a lightweight creative coding library for rendering and animating textmode visuals in real time. It’s designed for generative art, interactive sketches, long-form visual systems, and live-coded visuals, and is used both standalone and inside live coding environments like flok.cc.

Alongside textmode.js, I maintain related tools that form a small ecosystem:

• code.textmode.art - the official documentation and examples
• textmode.export.js - image and video export utilities for textmode.js
• textmode.filters.js - shader-based image filters for textmode workflows
• p5.asciify - a stable, fully open-source ASCII rendering library for p5.js (no longer actively maintained, but available for others to build on)

All of these projects are free to use, and the core textmode.js ecosystem is actively maintained.

Why sponsorship matters

I work on these tools alongside a full-time day job. Sponsorship helps me justify the time needed to:

• maintain and improve existing libraries
• write and refine documentation and examples
• build better demos and reference sketches
• explore new features and integrations without rushing or burning out

Rather than chasing growth or monetization, my goal is to keep these tools stable, expressive, and accessible.

What I’m working towards

With sustained support, I want to:

• further improve the documentation and learning resources for textmode.js
• deepen integration with creative coding and live coding environments
• continue exploring textmode as a serious visual medium, not just an effect

If you use these tools in your own work, teaching, performances, or experiments - or if you value open, non-commercial creative software - your support directly helps keep this work going.
