CLUSTER TERMINAL-VISUAL-ENTERTAINMENT · 8 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-01-01

Playful terminal animations

This cluster comprises small-scale visual amusements that run in terminal windows or as simple desktop/web apps—characters like dancing parrots and crows, fire and fireworks effects, bouncing text, and mouse-cursor trails. Dated entries before the index start show a lone 2016 entry, a long gap, then a small run of entries in early 2026. Traction is led by MouseFx with one star, while temo-bin and terminal-fireworks show no stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 8 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
