These days I reluctantly prefer embedding a static screenshot in my READMEs with a link to an asciinema animation. They're easy enough to record, and at least I'm not costing some poor sod who accidentally loaded my page $0.10 to download a giant GIF on mobile data.
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.
If that was zsh there is https://github.com/hlissner/zsh-autopair to write quotes just once. Quite useful.
