I thought the point of ASCII art was that it could be exported into Notepad. is the website mainly for aesthetics/art as opposed to inserting diagrams into READMEs now?

Yes this website is mainly for aesthetics and art. I will however add a feature that will generate the relevant chars / line breaks of a given still image, so that it can be exported to notepad.

When would you expect to put a video of a diagram into a readme file?

I don't think that's ever been the point of ASCII art. It's just art made with ASCII characters, that's it.
