I'd never heard of it before today, so yeah, my first thought was exactly what you postulated. "Cool? Maybe it's a tool for generating animations in the terminal?"

*edit - oh, no Windows support for now (my hands are tied at work).

On mobile I thought this thing was some ascii art game for a hot minute before I tried clicking on the download link. Seems silly to admit that but there you have it.

Absolutely agree, even if it was just the tagline on the first page of the documentation - "Ghostty is a fast, feature-rich, and cross-platform terminal emulator that uses platform-native UI and GPU acceleration." - underneath the "screenshot" and above the buttons on the homepage.
