Before r3bl-cmdr alpha release, implement easy support for animation (currently this is supported, but provide a nice API to make this simple).

Take a look at this code for inspiration:

And formalize the patterns above into reusable:

  • Animated clock

  • Animated gradient for dialog box border

Think about animating the caret when the user stops moving it. Perhaps consider animating the cursor when it first appears like in a dialog box. Animation doesn't just have to be for ambient effects.

Here's a great video to draw inspiration from for ideas on animations at 11:25 timestamp
