Creating High-Quality App Demo GIFs on Linux: The Professional Workflow

Motivation

I recently built a TUI-based librarian app, namely Gorae, for managing research papers, designed specifically for Vim and terminal lovers. I needed a polished demo for the README, but simple tools like Peek fell short—they lack the editing capabilities and text overlays needed for a professional presentation.

To do the project justice, I established a robust workflow on Arch Linux using OBS Studio for capture, Kdenlive for editing, and Gifski for high-fidelity compression.
