Asciinema 3.0 will be rewritten in Rust

• vhs

  34 13,836 8.3 Go

  Your CLI home video recorder 📼

  

now you can compare asciinema (rust) to vhs (go)

I still use asciinema, but will eventually check out vhs. It records terminal activity, outputs a gif, and you can publish to their servers.

Alternative you can feed it a "tape" file, aka a text file with a few configuration options and your ordered commands to run.

My workflow with asciinema sometimes has me cancelling out to redo w/ some minor change, so this tape concept is really attractive.

Here is a ticket which mentor the rust rewrite, perhaps this was what was intended: https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema/pull/579

  A repository to hold my charmbracelet vhs tapes for various projects

I appreciate and use asciinema, but a big plus one for VHS.

I like being able to store my tapes in a repo and edit them:

And as the official VHS docs show you can do even more interesting things with CI/CD

The player is still in SolidJS.

The Rust frontend frameworks have been creeping up the perf charts, though.

• termgrep

  2 0 5.5 Rust

  Grep over asciinema logs

The startup time mentioned is actually a big deal for me – I do record all of my terminal sessions (I even wrote a tool that uses his avt library to grep through the terminal logs, although I never got around to making it fast enough to be really useful: https://github.com/moyix/termgrep), and with the Python version I often lose the first few characters of my first command in a new terminal because asciinema is still starting up...

• cinemastream

  1 1 4.1 Rust

The cast format is effectively line-oriented JSON, which adapts well to being streamed directly to CloudWatch, with each line being a single entry in the CW log stream. It's then fairly easy to pull back out and replay as needed.

It's published up at https://github.com/rmccue/cinemastream if you're interested in trying it - it works, but still very early days, as it was just a holiday side-project. That said, likely to become a production tool for work, so will be cleaning it up a bit soon and squashing some bugs.
