Good job! I totally agree with the author on this:

> So I thought, "What if I could combine all these things and start writing markdown documents for my technical designs -- complete with ASCII art diagrams -- that I could then prettify for presentation purposes?"

If it's intended to be embedded in Markdown documents and published as web sites, it could be a web component.

I made an experimental one [0] and here's a demo [1].

I'm too lazy to follow through so hoping someone to make a full-fledged web component for it.

That's pretty cool. This demo is convincing me to look at using them in my own projects
