  • Japanese here. There are specific editors often categorized as “アスキーアートエディタ” (Ascii Art Editor). They often come with libraries of existing AA to modify, and can display image with low opacity to “trace” image.

    Large part of jp ascii art made/appeared in 90s to early 00s at underground forums like 2ch. Those editor were tailored for their speifics such as font family (MS-P Gothic) and size. The display/font system is different nowadays, but unlike “AA artist” in those times who is 100% comitted to make vertical line aligning pixel perfect most of people find those AA displays ok.






  • You are likely to only refer more than current era. If you’re writing govmet grant application, renewing licence or certificate, chances are you mention events hapenned in previous era. You look up table for when the previous era started and ended, which era said year falls into, then convert for each year, each era. Extra minutes wasted every time instead of simply writing in Gregorian year.




  • Your own learning resources + Anki.

    However, this requires significantly larger amount of work compared to said learning apps, which has establisged learning course in form of easily digestable chunk.

    You need to digest textbook and such on your own into small chunks, then Anki cards. It’s essentially building course by yourself.

    Fluent Forever from Gabriel Wymer gives some idea on how to utilize Anki, though the author moved to build his own closed source app.



  • IP certainly means protection, though it favors big corps than individuals.

    I’m all for those creative professionals. I get why people are upset about their work being used without their consent, especially from people who contracted to provide their work. It’s been used to exactly cut such jobs against them.

    But to combat the situation tighting IP law doesn’t seem to be the right tool.
