No screenshot lol.
This project is old enough that it uses the plain text README format that was intended to be read from the terminal back before GitHub became the de facto way to read source code.
Oh. Huh. I'm still doing plain text READMEs. Am I not supposed to?
If you don't have a GIF auto play at the top of your readme how can I trust that the code even compiles? ;)
By verifying that each full line in the readme is exactly 80 characters wide.
De facto != best practice
Or in other word, You do you
0h, I read README.md in the terminal with batcat.
I just cat or vi the files. The point of markdown is that it can still be read in the terminal and without any special tools.
My earlier point was that plain text doesn’t support image inlining. Not that markdown requires a web stack to render.
Actually there is a screenshot, but it is in the libsixel repository, because the README here is just the original Xorg one unaltered.
