A bare-bones terminal app that displays an all-white screen. Intended to be run on a secondary
monitor (or two) during video calls as a cheap key/fill light.

Tested on a few Linux and Windows terminals and should work on any terminal/OS combination [supported by crossterm](https://github.com/crossterm-rs/crossterm#tested-terminals).
