Great idea, thanks for sharing!
Tried your prompts with ChatGPT and Claude than iterated on it. The ASCII doesn't render perfectly in the web interface but looks good when copy/pasted into a text editor.
Key benefit: I used to iterate on layout by generating HTML+Tailwind directly, which burns tokens fast. This ASCII approach lets you nail the structure first without the token cost. Much better for free tier usage.
Appreciate the writeup!
