I wanted to create an ASCII art "bismillah" for use in the terminal.
Found this beautiful calligraphy by Nuria Garcia Masip. After cropping it, rotating it slightly and making the background monochromatic, I tried the ascii-image-converter by Zoraiz Hassan, and it worked great with the --braille flag:

This converter tool was really easy to install (just run the binary), and the output was automatically resized to fit the terminal window size, which was a convenient feature.

I discovered some other ASCII art CLI tools (never tested them though):

• https://github.com/user-simon/asciify
• https://github.com/tzvetkoff/im2a
• https://pypi.org/project/ascii-art-cli/
• http://dahtah.github.io/imager/ascii_art.html
• https://coolbutuseless.github.io/package/r64/articles/ascii.html

The website is a collaboration between two Dutch data science centers.
Should in my opinion also mention Gitea or Codeberg under suggested version control repositories, but otherwise good advice all around!

As always, you should watch youtube videos from a libre frontend.
