asciinema VS terminalizer

I think it would be more reasonable to judge whether it is promotion according to its content, quality, purpose, instead of domain name.

I totally agree one should get flagged if one posts the same product or application for the same use case again and again. But in my situation, they are different tools for different use cases.

I don't think this demo would get flagged if it was uploaded and presented in the https://asciinema.org or https://github.com .

I don't go against hackernews flagging system. It brings ORDER.

Sincere thanks to everyone for reviewing the cases.

There are other fun "terminal capture tools" like https://asciinema.org/

We use this for really nice terminal only demos. Highly recommend even though there are some minor rendering issues if you are using special fonts.

20 years of professional experience. I enjoy anything backend related, e.g APIs, profiling and solving performance problems, building high performance, low-latency network solutions, among many other things.

This might be a good usecase for https://asciinema.org/

Maybe another alternative for inspiration: https://github.com/faressoft/terminalizer

I love it because it gives you the option to record or to prepare your file... very easy and good results.

Seems abandoned? https://github.com/faressoft/terminalizer

I'm using terminalizer (https://github.com/faressoft/terminalizer), however it might be a bit hard to get running, it doesn't seem to be maintained.

Check out terminalizer - I think you can record your terminal, edit out all of the backspaces, adjust the speed, etc and turn it into a GIF.

Terminalizer!

I'm looking for a terminal session recorder that is able to capture ncurses program nicely and correctly. I have tried asciinema which didn't quite work, just as terminalizer didn't. I haven't been able to even install ttystudio.

GIF optimization is kind of a lost art. Even programs like Terminalizer, which ought to do better, still do a crappy job of GIF export. Pop the example GIF from their GitHub page open in GIMP and you'll see that they at least decimate the framerate pretty well, but the animation still includes lots of big, pointless updates. An optimized terminal recorder should be smart enough to produce optimal output in the first place: just produce a frame containing only the characters added since the last frame, or shadowing any characters removed.
