💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with asciifite 
Create a Python-based mini-application called 'ASCII Art Generator' that leverages the 'asciifite' package to convert user-uploaded images into ASCII art. This application should have a simple command-line interface for easy use and should offer several customization options to enhance the user experience. Here are the steps and features you need to implement:

1. **Setup**: Begin by installing the necessary packages, including 'asciifite'. Ensure your application is set up to accept image files as input.
2. **Image Input**: Allow users to upload an image file from their local system via the command line. Validate the input to ensure it is a valid image format (e.g., .jpg, .png).
3. **ASCII Conversion**: Use 'asciifite' to convert the uploaded image into ASCII art. The output should be displayed on the console.
4. **Customization Options**:
   - **Color Mode**: Provide an option for users to choose between black and white or colored ASCII art.
   - **Brightness Adjustment**: Allow users to adjust the brightness of the ASCII art output.
   - **Resolution Control**: Implement a feature where users can control the resolution of the ASCII art, making it more or less detailed.
5. **Output Display**: After processing, display the ASCII art directly in the terminal and also provide an option to save the output to a text file.
6. **Error Handling**: Ensure robust error handling for cases such as invalid input formats, missing files, or issues with the 'asciifite' package.
7. **Documentation**: Include a README file that explains how to install and run the application, along with any dependencies required.

Your goal is to create a versatile and user-friendly tool that showcases the capabilities of the 'asciifite' package while providing a unique and engaging way to interact with ASCII art.
