Hello Olle,

Do you think you could show an image how rainbow looks on some terminal, on the main page of rainbow? (Feel free to close this issue here at any moment in time.)

Do you mean something like "here's what the Example looks like rendered":

[olleolleolle]

Steps to try this on your own machine:

• gem install rainbow
• irb -rrainbow
• paste the Example snippet

[olleolleolle]

@sickill Do you think we should put content like this in the README?

"Try these steps to get started with bold type." kind of steps.

@olleolleolle sure, I like that. Would probably give better idea of what rainbow does than example output like this: https://github.com/sickill/rainbow#example

@olleolleolle awesome! We could generate gif from this with asciicast2gif so it plays right in the README ;) Btw, we could update its height to 20 (by editing recording json file), so there's no extra empty lines at the bottom of terminal.

[ku1ik]

Here I set height dynamically via URL parameter: https://asciinema.org/a/J928KpHoUQ0sl54ulOSOLE71E?rows=20 but asciicast2gif also has -h switch for that.

@sickill https://asciinema.org/a/J928KpHoUQ0sl54ulOSOLE71E?rows=20&speed=2.5 speed was great.

@shevegen Thanks for pinging us with this idea, now I have merged a link change to the README on master.

Closing issue!
