I am not the first person to complain about this, but the Moon is drawn in the wrong shape. It has a big circular cutout right now, like somebody took a bite out of it; no spherical object is shaded like that.
Also, it's hardly even ASCII art. If you zoom in on the light/shadow boundary, you'll see ASCII characters that are multiple colors: e.g., a forward slash / whose top one-third is light blue, with the bottom two-thirds dark blue. It evokes an ASCII art aesthetic. But you can't retype it. You can't copy/paste those colors, not even as rich text. You can't display it as text on a retro computer, or in an email, or in a Word doc.
I know there are more serious problems in the world, but right now I feel most strongly about this one.
This is super cool! I love little toys like this, just spamming the next day button is really satisfying. Helped me get a better idea on waxing vs waning and gibbous, too!

Thank you. I was about to complain that true ASCII art doesn’t get clipped to a circular shape, but you took it a couple steps further.
