## Prior art

HyperFrames was inspired by prior work in the browser-based video rendering space.
In particular, we want to acknowledge:

- **[Remotion](https://www.remotion.dev)** pioneered the approach of using a
  headless browser + FFmpeg `image2pipe` pipeline to turn web primitives into
  deterministic video in the JavaScript ecosystem. Several of HyperFrames'
  architectural ideas — ordered async barriers for parallel frame capture,
  multi-host port availability probing for dev servers, and the broader shape
  of a "render HTML to video" CLI — were informed by studying how Remotion
  approaches these problems.

## Thanks
