I’ve moved over to using vhs https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs

Looks cool, but produce GIFs? Asciinema is text based IIRC.

The name is the downside of Asciinema IMO. Can’t help but read it as ASCII enema, which is funny, but not what I want think about. Just call it tty-player or something…

vhs can also create video files: https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs#output

		But the brilliant thing about Asciinema is that the output is just text (JavaScript). You can pause it and copy text from it if you need to, and the filesize is basically nil.

VHS offers a declarative approach with .tape files that makes terminal demos reproducible and version-controllable, plus it generates GIFs without requiring a browser to view the recordings.
