## Project history and usage

termframe is a small command-line tool for turning terminal command output into SVG screenshots. Its own README describes it as a non-interactive terminal emulator that runs a command, renders the output in an internal virtual terminal session, and exports the result as SVG.

### Project history

The public GitHub repository was created in March 2025. The project sits in the newer wave of terminal-output publishing tools: instead of recording a session or taking a bitmap screenshot of an emulator window, it renders ANSI-styled output directly into a portable SVG artifact.

### Adoption history

The documented installation paths are package-manager oriented from the start: Homebrew for macOS, Scoop for Windows, prebuilt Linux archives, and Cargo from the Git repository. In this batch input it appears as a Homebrew formula only, so its broader package adoption history is still thin.

### How it is used

termframe is used to run a command and write an SVG, or to accept piped output and render that stream. Its README emphasizes ANSI style support, 16-color, 256-color, and truecolor rendering, optional font embedding, dark and light modes, iTerm2 color schemes, custom themes, and configurable window styles.

### Why package nerds care

For package maintainers and CLI documentation authors, termframe is useful because it produces reproducible terminal screenshots without opening a graphical terminal emulator. That makes it fit README, release-note, and documentation pipelines where SVG output is easier to diff, theme, and publish than a captured bitmap.

### Timeline

- 2025: Public GitHub repository created on March 6.
- 2026: v0.8.x releases continued theme and rendering maintenance.
- 2026: README documents Homebrew, Scoop, Linux archive, and Cargo installation paths.

### Related projects

- Related tools include terminal recorders such as termrec and asciinema, and terminal-image or terminal-screenshot tools that make command-line output easier to embed in documentation.
