## What it is
Termynal is a lightweight JavaScript library for creating animated terminal windows with typing effects, built on async/await. It uses plain HTML for content and CSS for styling, so users with JavaScript disabled still see the complete code without animation.

## Use cases
- animate terminal output in software documentation
- add typing animation to a demo of CLI commands
- show install commands with a progress animation on a landing page
- create a fake terminal window in plain HTML and CSS
- display code examples progressively without jQuery
- gracefully degrade terminal demos for users with JavaScript disabled

## When to choose
- you want a modern, dependency-free terminal animation for docs or marketing pages
- you prefer writing terminal content in plain HTML and styling in CSS
- accessibility and no-JS fallbacks matter for your site
- you want to avoid nested setTimeout-based animation libraries

## When to avoid
- you need a fully interactive or scriptable terminal emulator
- you need to support legacy browsers without async/await support
- you want server-side rendering of animations or a React/Vue component API
