Nice to see this wrapped up as an app. If all you need is a cli, then https://github.com/jakehilborn/displayplacer works great too.

I don't think displayplacer is intended to create a virtual display, it seems to be a CLI to manipulate display modes and mirroring for existing display so these seem to be two different things entirely. I might be wrong of course.

I agree. But the problem the OP had was forcing a video mode. The virtual display was a means to that end. I think displayplacer solves that problem more directly.
