Whoah, that sounds really amazing!
I'm glad you list SLOC and depends :)
Althought there's 'xgrab' I think that grabs a RGB color code from screen,
and
is suckless, I remember reviewing it's source code like a year ago.
I love such tools.. Is it possible to make, since you seem to be within the
scope, something console-based? Like no X11, no Wayland, just the console and
perhaps something like tmux/dvtm :)
I'd like to get rid of X11.. I feel sooo dirty for using it. I love that
because it gives me motivation to excel even further beyond, to be so much
elitist, until there's no one more elite than me (funny, right? I think Terry
Davis achieved that before dying)

P.S. would love to see self-hosted code like on Cgit, or just offer plain
files like I do (did and hopefully will) via I2P/Tor) for my shitty
unfinished unusable code
