But it hasn't been maintained and has been regressing in performance. So like anyone who hasn't tried to do the thing before, I decided \"How hard could it be?\"\n\nThis is the result. It's not as fast as [rio](https://rioterm.com/) or [alacritty](https://alacritty.org/), but it's got CSS theming, visual effects, and my 6-year-old thinks it's cool. What more could you want?\n\n## What makes it fun\n\n- **CSS Theming** - Style your terminal like a website. Hot-reload on save.\n- **Visual Effects** - CRT scanlines, matrix rain, particle systems, animated sprites\n- **16 Built-in Themes** - Synthwave, Matrix, Nyan Cat, Fallout Pip-Boy, and more\n- **GPU Rendering** - Smooth 60fps via wgpu/vello\n\n## Install\n\n```sh\ncurl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/colliery-io/crt/main/scripts/install.sh | sh\n```\n\n\u003e Windows support coming [Soon™](https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Soon)\n\n## Quick Start\n\n1.
