💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with ascii-forger 
Create a Python-based mini-application named 'ASCII Art Studio' which leverages the 'ascii-forger' package to convert user-uploaded images into various styles of ASCII art. This application should offer a user-friendly interface where users can upload their images, choose from different styles of ASCII conversion (terminal, color, braille, HTML, PNG/JPEG/SVG exports), customize the character set used for the conversion, and toggle invert mode on/off. Additionally, implement a feature that allows users to save their ASCII art creations directly to their local storage or share them via social media platforms. The application should also include a gallery section where users can browse through previously created ASCII art pieces. Utilize the 'ascii-forger' package's capabilities to handle all aspects of image-to-ASCII conversion, ensuring that the output quality is high and customizable according to user preferences.
