People have been posting about these Charm projects for a few years now [1]. I think they look cool and, while I know they exist, I have never found myself in a position where I want to add them to my consumer-facing projects, nor even my personal projects. Does anyone have examples of (public) non-trivial Terminal programs that make use of these libraries?

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.

Or run

kitty --dump-commands program-whose-output-you-want-to-inspect

You can even save the --dump-commands output as edit it and then replay it with

kitty --dump-commands program > commands.txt

kitty --replay-commands commands.txt

Great work: this tool will be really useful to me!

(Note: the "terminal animations" in github make the examples difficult to read.)

That's fantastic. Regarding the note about output detection, here is a short tcl script that attempts to trick the app into thinking it's writing to a terminal: https://github.com/jakeogh/colorpipe
