Asciinema 3.0 will be rewritten in Rust
Incorrect link. Just goes to the list of open requests.
Here is a ticket which mentor the rust rewrite, perhaps this was what was intended: https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema/pull/579

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 free. I often attempt a gif 10 times before I'm happy with the outcome.
I don't personally love the transition animation. I would want the option for something that seems like it's being typed.
The closest tools I've found are:
Typewriter VSCode extesion: Allows you to copy text and then "types" it out for you. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dansilve...

Rsh: Ruby SHell
but it seems pretty popular for this kind of screen recording.

Write Your Own Terminal
FWIW, I wouldn't try to parse escape sequences "directly" from the input bytestream -- it's easy to end up with annoying bugs. Longer-term it's probably better to separate the logic e.g.:
- First step (for a UTF-8-input terminal emulator) means "lexing" the input bytestream as UTF-8 into a stream of USVs, which involves some subtleties (https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/blob/master/src/termina...).
- Second step is to run the DEC parser/FSM logic on the sequence of USVs, which is independent of the escape sequences (https://vt100.net/emu/dec_ansi_parser ; https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/blob/master/src/termina...).
- And then the third step is for the terminal to execute the "dispatch"/"execute"/etc. actions coming from the FSM, which is where the escape sequences and control chars get implemented (https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/blob/master/src/termina...).
Without this separation, it's easier to end up with bugs where, e.g., a UTF-8 sequence or an ANSI escape sequence is treated differently when it's split between multiple read() calls vs. all in one call.

Btw, you can use mosh to hide the latency of SSH. https://mosh.org/

How do I enable new pane/tab with CWD while using mosh?
I've been using Kitty's SSH features for as long as I can remember but I recently setup Mosh and I really like how it doesn't drop connections and supports roaming.

Buying an iPad Pro for coding was a mistake
I am surprised many people write about ssh into a server. Mosh[1] feels more responsive and it also supports longer sessions.

Prompt2, heads up; they are readying up another version Prompt2 has been abandoned by devs since iOS 14 / 1y ago in a crashing state - Now they want to make another money-heist cash-grab from its users by forcing them to upgrade one of the most expensive apps of all time.
Also they support Mosh which I install on my servers. It's way better than plain ssh when you're on mobile networks and wifi, especially with connections that are unreliable or bandwidth-constrained.

networkingStarterPack
I’ve recently been experimenting with MoSH (Mobile Shell). Basically think SSH but with UDP - so more resilient to shoddy network conditions, roaming access points, etc.

How can I get a lisp image to run in the background?
If it is not for production (e.g. running as a daemon or a server) and you only care about the development, another ad-hoc way is using screen/tmus-like software incl. byobu, and combine it with mosh.
