Needs a (2020) tag. (The 2023 commit was just a Google Analytics update).
A badge of honor these days!

Looking at github, it looks like it's moderately easy to add new features - I wonder how hard it would be to add other languages, like ones that use cyrillic characters...

Not very obvious what this is on mobile. The info button is nearly unreadable.

My smartphone display is at 30% brightness, but the Info button is visible on the top-right corner as a dull gray button. But it just shows credits screen, instead of what's the purpose of the site and how to use it.
But the big blinking green cursor on the top-left corner gave me the visual clue: If we type any text, the next screen then shows various ASCII renditions of that text.
That's it, it seems -- it's a simple ASCII generator tool.
However, I noticed there's no feature to scroll through the generated text, although landscape mode on smartphone makes it easier to read the big ASCII text.
ASCII fans can manually copy-paste the generated ASCII text for use elsewhere.
