58-62: Great addition of webcam usage information!This new section aligns well with the PR objectives and enhances the documentation by introducing the ability to use a video device like a webcam. The example command is clear and consistent with the existing format.
Consider adding a comma after "webcam" in the introductory sentence for improved readability:
- If you have a video device like a webcam you can use the device file, too. + If you have a video device like a webcam, you can use the device file, too.🧰 Tools

61-61: Maintain consistency in command-line examplesThe Markdownlint tool flagged this line for using a dollar sign before a command without showing output (rule MD014). However, this style is consistent with the rest of the document and is a common way to represent command-line examples.
For consistency and readability, we'll keep the current format. If you decide to change this style in the future, it should be applied document-wide.

58-62: Summary: Excellent documentation updateThe changes to the README.md file effectively document the new feature for using a webcam or other video device as input. This aligns perfectly with the PR objectives and enhances the user documentation.
A minor grammatical suggestion was made, but overall, the addition is clear, concise, and well-integrated with the existing content. Great job on improving the documentation!

Thanks for the suggestion, that’s a great idea! |
WalkthroughThe pull request introduces a new usage example in the README.md file for the video-to-ascii tool, specifically demonstrating how to use a video device like a webcam. The addition provides a practical command-line example for users interested in converting live video input to ASCII art, expanding the documentation's practical guidance without modifying the existing structure or other sections of the README.

58-59: Enhance readability and provide more contextThe sentence could be improved with better punctuation and more helpful details for users.
Consider this revision:
-If you have a video device like a webcam you can use the device file, too. +If you have a video device like a webcam, you can use the device file directly. On Linux systems, webcam devices are typically available at `/dev/videoN` (where N is a number, starting from 0).🧰 Tools

60-62: Enhance the command example with more contextWhile the example is correct, it could be more helpful with additional details.
Consider expanding the example to show both the command and expected behavior:
-```bash -$ video-to-ascii -f /dev/video0 -``` +```bash +# Stream from the first webcam device +$ video-to-ascii -f /dev/video0 + +# Stream from a different webcam device (if multiple cameras are present) +$ video-to-ascii -f /dev/video1 + +# The ASCII output will appear in your terminal, press Ctrl+C to stop +```🧰 Tools

Maybe this information might be helpful for users that like to use a dynamic video stream instead of a file.
