Sure.. it's yet another image to ascii tool. I submit it though because a short while ago I linked the webapp (which I have now dubbed MAGICBIFF), with explanation of why I made yet another such app along with examples of what it does in a comment on a HN thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38329736) about another ascii art tool and had a couple of folks reply and ask if the source was available.

Since it runs entirely in the browser, (demo here: https://www.killsignal.net/magicbiff) the source (HTML/CSS/JS) is of course available as it is sent over https when requested and can be seen as plain text via view-source or the Inspector, but it eventually occurred to me that even so, perhaps they wanted to be able to be notified of changes, fork, submit PR, etc.. all the stuff that site like GitHub makes easily available.

Anyway, following through on my commitment to clean it up and adding license so it is clearly "open" and not just "view-source"-able, there it be.
