Seems quite cool! Though the demo gif with (what seem to be?) broken icons is a bold choice :p

lol good catch, and I totally missed it

I used vhs to record the gif which must not run the script in my native terminal! I’ll have to see about fixing it!

I've seen a lot of people use asciinema to record and share terminal recordings, it works quite well

You still end up having to turn it into a GIF if you want it to autoplay on GitHub's markdown viewer, or video if you want it to run on the page but require a click-to-play.

Huh, I though you could embed those into READMEs on GitHub, but turns out you can't

How would that solve the font problem? I feel like that would only make the problem of having unsupported fonts even worse.

One solution could be to use the docker version of vhs, and edit the dockerfile to pull your desired font.

I didn't notice, I was too busy seeing how impressive and useful this tool is.

And with fuzzy matching built in? Just amazing. Good job OP.
