🎨 Meet NOMO – Open-source ASCII Art Generator in C/GTK4 — LLM-powered + local Figlet rendering!
Built from scratch as part of the Art2Dec SoftLab open-source initiative. Runs natively on Linux x86_64 and ARM64 (Raspberry Pi 4/5).
✅ Two modes:
• **Figlet mode** — instant local text rendering using any installed font, no internet needed
• **LLM mode** — generate ASCII art and comic strips via mshell IPC (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Ollama)
✅ 3 configurable LLM model slots — read directly from ~/.mshellrc
✅ 10 included system prompts — art, banners, comics with speech bubbles
✅ Comic strip generator — characters with funny dialogue invented by the model
✅ Live token streaming — output appears as the model generates
✅ Dark / Light theme, art color selector (8 colors)
✅ Inline system prompt editor — tweak prompts without leaving the app
✅ Copy to clipboard — works natively in GTK4
✅ Multi-language input — English, Russian and more
