Suggestion: Add an example video so we can see what this actually does.

It is very simple: When you run it it will create a web server (listening on port 5000) by default; when you visit that server with your browser you'll get a terminal to your system (the same terminal / user that was used to originally run the server).

Then what is adorable about it? I was imagining cute animals would appear in the terminal. This is not the case?

Come up with an interesting idea, spend n number of days working on idea, get to the front page of hackernews, have thousands of eyeballs on your thing...Spend 0 time on the readme and have everyone take a half second glance, not know what the thing is or does and move their attention else where. Let this be a lesson to everyone to spend some time on your readme's...https://github.com/matiassingers/awesome-readme

What do you mean by adorable?

Calling it adorable without a front and center screenshot is an odd choice.

I visited the README solely because “adorable” was a provocative word and I wanted to see a screenshot of said adorableness. Give the people what they want!

I'm sure it is an interesting engineering exercise, but I struggle to think of a situation where I would fire a browser to use the terminal instead of just opening a terminal.

Yeah, I bet there are Electron-based terminals out there anyways.
