All of the demos were recorded with asciinema, so definitely yes for that one.

As for Textual, the effects are all iterators that return strings. Any widget that can display a string should work. You may need to manually set the Canvas dimensions to match your Textual widget. I'm sure that will require a bit of trial and error to match up. Resizing dynamically definitely wouldn't work as the effects are built based on an internal representation of the terminal grid coordinates.

I don't know anything about asciimatics, but I'm sure the concept is the same. You get strings from the effects. Just drop those where ever you need and update the respective widget.
