Thanks in advance.

    Thank you for your explanation. Not “create”, but use that specific package in the OP as a command to run it as a “lightweight screensaver” of sorts. And I honestly thought it was possible considering nexe and pkg exists and both can “compile” .js files into a binary. And the possibility of displaying pictures in true color (even in the CLI).

      I think generally when a tool says that it’s compiling JavaScript into a binary, it’s just packaging it with a lightweight browser basically. Python has kind of the same thing - they have compilers that build executables, but really they’re just packaging a Python interpreter with your script.
