I've made a primitive tools to record GIF files.<p>There's many tools like this, but I was inspired by VHS[0]. The thing is, VHS requires ffmpeg and chromium to create GIFs and videos, which is a nice approach, but it's too heavy for my taste.<p>Basically, I forked a simple terminal emulator[1] written in plain C and added commands to write output straight to a GIF file[2].<p>It's stil a WIP pet-project, but I believe it could be usefull for someone, for example, to create animated illustrations for documentation, blog posts and such.<p>[0] <a href="https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs/</a><p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/uobikiemukot/yaft/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/uobikiemukot/yaft/</a><p>[2] <a href="https://github.com/lecram/gifenc/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/lecram/gifenc/</a>
