A CLI tool to generate animated text memes as GIFs with customizable colors, sizes, and delays.
text-meme-cli is a command-line tool that generates animated text memes as GIF files. It solves the need for quickly creating shareable text-based memes with customizable visual properties like colors, sizes, and animation speed, directly from the terminal without requiring a graphical interface.
Developers, content creators, or anyone who wants to programmatically generate text memes for social media, presentations, or fun via the command line.
It offers a lightweight, scriptable alternative to online meme generators or graphic design software, with fine-grained control over meme appearance and seamless integration into automated workflows or development environments.

Allows control over font size, color, and background via CLI options like --fontsize, --fontcolor, and --background, as shown in the usage examples for fine-tuned visual output.
Installs globally via npm, enabling quick meme generation from any terminal with a simple command structure, making it accessible for developers and automated scripts.
Provides adjustable frame delay with the --delay option, allowing users to customize GIF animation speed from the default 500 milliseconds for varied effects.
Supports specifying output filename and image size via --filename and --imagesize, offering adaptability for different use cases without manual editing.
Relies on the canvas module which requires Cairo, a native library that can be difficult to install on some systems, adding complexity to setup as noted in the README.
Only generates text-based memes without options to include images, graphics, or other media, restricting creative possibilities compared to full-featured meme tools.
Outputs exclusively in GIF format, lacking support for alternatives like PNG for static images or MP4 for videos, which may limit compatibility with modern platforms.
