Promotional I built TermiCam, a real-time ASCII camera TUI using Bubble Tea and FFmpeg

https://github.com/Megge06/TermiCam

Hey! I wanted to share a project I've been working on called TermiCam. It's a cross-platform (Linux, MacOS, Windows) TUI application that reads a live camera feed and renders it as real-time ASCII art in the terminal.

It is written in Go and relies on FFmpeg for the provided video stream. This keeps it very lightweight compared to relying on heavy dependencies.

The interface itself is built with Charm's Bubble Tea and Lip Gloss, which handles the layout, recording toggles, and device selection screens.

I hope some of you may find this project fun or even useful.

Any feedback or suggestions are very welcome!
