Improve visibility on demonstration GIF #4

Closed paxsali closed 2 years ago

paxsali commented 2 years ago

Hi,

can you please fix your demonstration gif in such a way that it is accessible and easy to understand for users what the usecase of your project is?

The current gif is entirely unusable to the point where I think it's a joke, a trolling attempt.

Crop the rest of your very beautiful wallpaper and present a more visible section of the actual demo / your terminal.

Thank you for considering this change in advance.

@paxsali thanks for suggesting. I changed the title of this into something that's a bit more constructive.

I had a hard time recording and cutting that gif under Linux. Happy for suggestions or maybe even support here. It's a 1920 x something size gif, if you're able to, feel free to cut and PR it in the way you think it's best.

I have a suggestion to make:

This is how most ppl record their terminal demonstrations.

Using tools such as asciicast2gif - converts asciicast files to animated GIF files or services like gifcast: Convert asciinema to animated GIF in the browser you can convert the ascii recording to GIF.

EDIT:

for right now it's faster to use this command and generate a proper gif from you current one:

convert -crop 424x826+748+136 +repage demo.gif cropped-demo.gif

Assuming you have ImageMagick installed (convert binary).
