html
<script type="module" src="https://ascii.rest/ascii.js"></script>
<ascii-art piece="supermemory" options='{"shine":5}'></ascii-art> No install and no build step. ascii.js defines the <ascii-art> tag, loads the piece from ascii.rest, plays it while it is on screen, and holds the first frame for anyone who prefers reduced motion. Add mono, <ascii-art piece="supermemory" mono>, for one ink.
react
// npm install ascii.rest
import { Ascii } from "ascii.rest/react";
import { supermemory } from "ascii.rest/pieces";
<Ascii piece={supermemory} options={{"shine":5}} /> A client component, so it works in the Next.js app router as it is. Pass the name instead, piece="supermemory", to fetch the piece only when it mounts. Add mono for one ink.
astro
---
// npm install ascii.rest
import Ascii from "ascii.rest/astro";
---
<Ascii piece="supermemory" options={{"shine":5}} /> Renders the first frame on the server, so the page is whole before any script runs, then plays the piece once it loads. Add mono for one ink.
typescript
// npm install ascii.rest
import { mount } from "ascii.rest";
import { supermemory } from "ascii.rest/pieces";
const el = document.querySelector<HTMLCanvasElement>("canvas")!;
const stop = mount(el, supermemory, {"shine":5}); mount plays a piece in a <pre>, or on a <canvas> for the coloured ones, and returns a function that stops it. Every piece, option and frame is typed. Mount it in a <pre> for one ink.
terminal
npx ascii.rest supermemory
Plays it in your terminal, in colour, until you press a key. Add --mono for the terminal's own colour. Add --light for a light terminal. Add --seconds 5 to stop it on its own; npx ascii.rest list shows every piece. In a CLI of your own, play("supermemory", { seconds: 2 }) from ascii.rest/terminal shows it as a splash screen.

An animated SVG that needs no script, so it plays in a GitHub README, which runs none. GitHub shows the dark one in its dark theme. It holds still for anyone who prefers reduced motion.
/*
* supermemory: the Supermemory logo, two mirrored strokes, each a bar with an
* upright and a slanting leg, with a glint crossing it every few seconds.
*
* Drawn from Supermemory's own mark, from supermemory.ai: each cell holds the
* character whose shape best matches the logo's edge through it, and 8 where
* the logo is solid. On a canvas it is in its ink, and in its light version on
* a dark page, where the ink would sink into it; in a <pre> it is one ink,
* from the same drawing. The logo is a trademark of its owner, shown here to
* name the company.
