ascii.live is a Go web service that serves ASCII animations (like the famous terminal parrot) over HTTP, so users can play them in their terminal with a simple curl command. It extends parrot.live by hosting many community-contributed animations in one place.
Use cases
- play ascii animations in my terminal with curl
- host a fun terminal parrot animation server
- add my own ascii animation frames to a shared service
- self-host a curl-based animation server
- entertain teammates with terminal gifs
When to choose
- you want a quick, fun curl-based terminal animation
- you want to contribute or host your own ASCII frame animations
- you want a lightweight Go service to self-host animations
When to avoid
- you need serious terminal UI tooling or TUI frameworks
- you need actual GIF/video rendering rather than ASCII frames
- you need offline animations without an HTTP server
