Animated images in the readme are not a very good experience. I’m trying to read the output and make sense of it and it just blinks out. There’s no good reason

Animated images in the readme are not a very good experience. I’m trying to read the output and make sense of it and it just blinks out. There’s no good reason to have animation here. We all know how text is typed in the terminal.

It shows the CLI use, seems pretty useful to me.

  It doesn't show anything a still image that I can just read wouldn't also show. It has no upside and only downsides.

Good use case for Asciinema. https://asciinema.org https://asciinema.org https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema EDIT: Looks like image generator might be from one of their own projects: https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs

  Given the purpose of the tool, it seems like the most appropriate solution would be to use ANSI itself to animate the text.

    Is that not what asciinema does?

      No, asciinema uses a custom data format to store the terminal data, then uses custom JS to play it back within a web site. I'm talking about just distributing ANSI files.
