Perhaps it would be nice to include a screenshot of VIT directly on the main project page (instead of buried in issues) to give a clear, direct and intuitive insight in (potential) benefits of VIT.

In particular, a suggestion might be to highlight the following features from the current Readme.md (in a .gif):

  1. Per-column colorization
  2. Advanced tab completion
  3. Multiple/customizable themes
  4. Override/customize column formatters
  5. Intelligent sub-project indenting

An even more explicit illustration could possibly be to compare the (relevant) standard/default taskwarrior layout (options) with the enhanced VIT functionality.

Definitely in support of this idea. Does anybody want to put a PR together?

A good way to generate this gif would be to use asciinema to record the terminal session, and then use asciicast2gif to generate the gif, so that it can be embedded in the README, as is described in this blog post.

I recently used this workflow to record a session using a TUI program (ranger) and also vim in a blog post and it worked really well. The gif is also as lightweight as possible.

I'll give this a go when I have the time, but just thought I'd give some pointers for anyone interested in doing it.
