Subj : ANSI gallery

So I had this dream last night where I was browsing a gallery of ANSI
art, like a door program or something. But unlike a 'traditional' gallery
program, there was a messaging system attached, so each piece of art had
a discussion thread that could be read/commented on contextually. And the
art and messages were all networked, like via and FTN base or something.
And there was so much activity and good vibes, because lots of BBSs were
participating.
I woke up with that feeling, like, "wow, that would be cool!"
Then, in the shower: uh, maybe not. But maybe...?
I think the dream was influenced by a couple days on Discord art-related
channels, where conversation and artwork live in the same stream. Which
is pretty amazing.
So, at the risk of being told it's not really a good idea: would this be
cool as a networked BBS door? Also, I'm OK if this is a dumb dream idea.
Or maybe it's too niche, or it already exists? Quite possibly, it already
exists. Or, tried and failed. Usually that's the case with my ideas, LOL.
Perhaps I'm also looking for a reason to create a scrollable ANSI art
interface and learn how to handle messaging :)
Or maybe I should just finish my DON'T SHIT YOU PANTS game.
