• [2023 Day 8 (Part 2)] The slot machine way!

  This might be a good usecase for https://asciinema.org/. Source: 5 months ago

• Show HN: Hackreels – Animate your code in HD

  I do quite a lot of this kind of stuff for my job. Some context that may be useful. Often the full IDE is needed. I record a lot of gifs of VSCode, where part of the gif is typing code, part is interacting with the rest of the IDE / terminal - perhaps to run the code and view the output. For me the killer app would be one which could pre-record keystrokes (and maybe mouse actions) so that I could do them error... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Rsh: Ruby SHell

  But it seems pretty popular for this kind of screen recording. [1] https://asciinema.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• A Terminal Case of Linux

  > Is there something better than just screen-shotting your terminal window and making PNGs or GIFs for stuff like this? There is and it's been on my TODO list forever. In fact, the article you just read (congrats on getting through my narrative devices) was written /while tackling that/. https://asciinema.org does it for "moving pictures", it shouldn't be too hard to do it for stills. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Vimcasts – Free screencasts about the text editor Vim

  This made me instantly think of https://asciinema.org. There are so.e amazing resources on that site. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Session recording for Tailscale SSH in beta

  Seems like a self-hosted asciinema https://asciinema.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Yet another To Do manager written in BASH. Simple and colorful.

  Recommendation: you barely used half of the line width available and the font is so small (in the representation) that it is not intelligible at a 240p resolution. So I recommend next time to use a crisp font with larger x-height. (I don't know if e.g., asciinema is an option here on reddit.). Source: about 1 year ago

• Terminal Gif Maker - We are back with huge updates. v2 is ready.

  I've never had the need to use any of them, but I've always felt like https://asciinema.org/ has to be the end-game of these tools. If for no other reason than the fact that when playing it back you can pause and copy the text from the terminal. Source: about 1 year ago

  Https://asciinema.org/ is waaaay better than youtube for this sort of thing, lol. Source: over 1 year ago

• Recreating sci-fi terminals using VHS

  Https://asciinema.org/ If you want to record and playback actual terminal activity instead of writing a script that’s somewhat more likely to become out of date. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Recreating sci-fi terminals using VHS

  I feel like the blog post is at fault for not introducing VHS, more so than the tool itself for calling itself that. Of course, for something as ubiquitously known as VHS it needs no introduction...except it's not actually talking about the magnetic storage format, it's a "tool" named VHS[0]. All of that aside, it seems like a poor alternative to asciinema[1] [0] https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs [1]... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Show HN: Game of Life on non-square topologies with 2^32 update rules

• VHS: a tool for generating terminal GIFs with code (written in Go)

  This is so great. Using https://asciinema.org/ was nice, but it required me to be a perfect typist in real time or go back and painstakingly fix a bunch of imperfect stuff. Source: over 1 year ago
