Show HN: Ingenuity-DL, CLI app to make GIFs from Ingenuity helicopter images

Back in 2020, NASA launched the Perseverance rover with an attached helicopter, Ingenuity - the first man-made object to use another planet's atmosphere for powered flight.

On days Ingenuity flies, it tends to take a lot of pictures and sends them back to Earth. Ingenuity-DL is a small CLI app designed to convert those images into a GIF to watch each flight.

This was my first real project with Rust. I'm interested in diving more into programming with it, so any advice would be welcomed :)
