Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I was watching a YouTube video and wondered what it would look like as hacker-style text. So I built ASCII Vision.
Turn it on and the page goes into terminal mode: text becomes glowing green monospace, and images, thumbnails and videos are converted to ASCII art in real time. There are four looks (Matrix green, amber, white, full-color) and a detail slider.
It's free and open source, and everything runs on your device. Nothing is collected or sent anywhere.
Honest limits: DRM video (Netflix and similar) stays black, and multi-color logos become one white shape.
I'd love feedback: which sites should I test next, and what look would you want (Matrix rain, anyone?).
